 The mission of the Rochester
Community Chorus
is to enrich the cultural life of the community by providing its
singers with opportunities to perform quality choral music under
professional direction and by enhancing the lives of all through the
resonant power of harmony and word. We are the community choral ensemble in the area of Rochester, Michigan. If you would like to join us, please see the Membership page. Let us know how we can serve you. Our Spring concert will be a presentation of the Cherubini Requiem with the St. Paul's Methodist Church Choirs, the Madrigal Chorale of Southfield, the St. Mary of the Hills Church Choir, and the Rochester College A Cappella Chorus. Joe Bentley, Jean Randall, Betsy Marsh, and Dan Grieg will conduct. The performance will be part of the community celebration of Good Friday at St. Paul's UMC at 7:30 p.m. on April 6, 2012. Our Fall season included a concert on Dec. 2, 2011 at St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Rochester. The concert featured the Rochester College A Cappella Chorus and members of the Rochester College Concert Band. This Christmas program was centered around the Gloria by John Rutter for choir, brass, percussion, and organ. Other works on the concert included settings from the Alfred Burt Carols. Our first rehearsal this semester will take place on January 23, 2012 in the theater inside the Richardson Academic Center on the campus of Rochester College. See this page for more details. from the Melodious Accord newsletter, July 2002: "No
other art
demands so persuasively that we dwell in this moment, right here, where
space crosses time, in order to create something fleeting that we
cannot make alone. Here is a positive addiction -- one that brings
blessings rather than disease, and one that makes us appreciate and
value those with whom and for whom we sing. We are most wonderfully
human when we sing together."--Alice Parker
