The Nodaway Chorale will launch its spring rehearsal season Monday, January 31, at 7:00 p.m. at First Christian Church, Third and Buchanan Streets, Maryville, Missouri. Rehearsals, in preparation for a May concert, will continue each Monday from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at the same location.

The Nodaway Chorale is a non-profit, non-audition, secular mixed voice chorus with 40 singers from various communities in the county and a mission of setting in motion in the community an appreciation, appetite, and affinity for choral music.

Music Director Jim Rash notes, “The Chorale members are enthusiastic about resuming rehearsals following our successful holiday concert in December, our first live performance in almost two years. We will continue to take all necessary actions to provide for a safe experience for both singers and the audience in rehearsals and at our concert. We will emphasize singing safely, using significant physical distancing, and abiding by all health safety measures required by our host venues, local, state, and federal entities.”

Rash continues, “As the area’s premier community chorus, we’re looking forward to preparing a very exciting concert for May. Our program will include a wide variety of music including traditional, classical, spirituals, Broadway, movie, and popular selections. We invite anybody who loves to sing to join us. Our chorus is composed of educators, office workers, healthcare workers, writers, businesspersons, high school and university students, and retirees, all of whom love singing with friends.”
