Join the Chorus!
The Schoodic Summer Chorus is a multi-generational a capella community chorus
devoted to nurturing musicianship and community, in residence at Hammond
Hall in Winter Harbor, Maine. Its members share a passion for singing beautiful
and unusual music. Directed by singer and composer Anna
Dembska, the chorus is
open to anyone who loves to sing.
This summer, the Chorus will explore the meaning of “home” and the spirit of place with a cappella music ranging from Renaissance composer Heinrich Isaac to seminal new wave punk rockers, The Talking Heads, and traditions from the Balkans to Africa to American roots.
We'll be performing at Hammond Hall to open the Schoodic Arts Festival, as well as two additional concerts in Addison and Millbridge.

Cost
The Schoodic Summer Chorus is primarily supported by membership dues, but
we want everyone who wants to sing to be able to join us. Membership fee
is $120 (this level covers the cost of running the chorus). If you can't
afford the regular dues, we
have full and partial scholarships for those who need them.
If you can afford it, please consider paying more than $120 to help
subsidize those who need to pay less.
Commitment
We ask that you miss no more than two rehearsals, and make sure
you come to the final three rehearsals (July 14, 21 and 25). If you really
want to sing with us, but have scheduling problems, please contact Anna
Dembska.
