The Bennington County Choral Society, a community chorus conducted by Cailin Marcel Manson, promotes choral singing by presenting several concerts per year, and eagerly invites student participation. Auditions are not required, and singers of all levels and abilities are welcomed. To receive credit, students must attend all rehearsals and performances. Performances may be held at various locations in Bennington, and transportation may need to be arranged. Contact Kerry Ryer-Parke for more information. This spring the Choral Society will prepare Robert Aldridge’s Parables (2010) a multilingual interfaith oratorio using pieces of the Torah, Bible, and Qu’uran in juxtaposition. Performance dates are May 10th and 11th.
