Rehearsals began on Tuesday, February 6th at Union Congregational Church, 176 Cooper Ave., Montclair, NJ. They continue weekly through Tuesday, April 2nd. Rehearsals run from 8 pm until 10 pm; we will open early at 7:30 pm for the first rehearsal so that singers can purchase music. Prospective new members can register for membership or borrow music to "try us out" at this rehearsal, but either way please plan to arrive at 7:30 pm.

Our spring/summer season will continue with an Open Choir Sing of the Faure Requiem,
