Mad River Chorale
Serving our Community Through Song
The Mad River Chorale (MRC) has been inspiring singers and audiences for over 30 years. We are a welcoming non-auditioned community chorus that performs concerts twice a year, in December and in the Spring. The MRC’s goal is to provide members an opportunity to sing a rewarding and challenging repertoire and to give our audience the experience of, and knowledge about, wonderful choral music.
Valentine’s Day Annual Benefit Cabaret on Feb 14th was a success!
We thank the many people who attended our Friday, Feb. 14th Valentine’s Day Benefit Concert at the Warren United Church. The over 70 people who attended were treated to an evening of beautiful music and delightful comedy by our talented musicians Mary Jane Austin, Adam Hall, Erik Kroncke, and Nessa Rabin (left to right in photo below)
The many donations given (thank you!) help the MRC to include instrumentalists and soloists in upcoming concerts. And we were pleased to welcome attendees who were new to the MRC or who haven’t been to a recent concert.
Mad River Chorale’s Plans for our May Concert, May 3rd and 4th
We begin our rehearsals for the Spring semester on January 13th. If you are a singer interested in singing with the MRC, please go to our “For Singers” page with more details about participating. And for those who enjoy attending our concerts, read on for a preview.
Mary Jane Austin has designed a program contemplating night and light with selected movements of Rachmaninoff’s All Night Vigil, Beethoven’s Elegiac Song, two works by the contemporary composer Ola Gjeilo, Dark Night of the Soul, and Luminous Night of the Soul, and a well loved song by another contemporary composer, Morten Lauridsen, Sure on This Shining Night.
The Mad River Chorale is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. Your donation helps the MRC to include instrumentalists – strings, harp, brass, winds, percussion – and soloists to accompany the chorale, enriching the experience for everyone.
