Although the Community Cantata Choir won’t have their final performance until Christmastime, rehearsals will be underway soon. Event coordinators and program directors Nan Folkers and Brian Liechty are still working out this year’s theme and the schedule for official try-out dates and subsequent rehearsals. Folkers said the start date should be announced in early September.
The Community Cantata is an annual Christmas performance put on by the Knox United Methodist Church. Folkers says members from 10 to 12 other churches join together to help put on the program each year. Although the performance is arranged through the church, Folkers wants singers to know that church involvement is not a requirement.
This year, the cantata choir is looking for new members to be a part of the program which includes ensemble pieces, as well as solos. Try-outs will be released as soon as the directors decide on a date. Answers to further questions can by provided by Director Nan Folkers at The Golden Living Center, 574-772-6248.
