 PASS CHORALE BEGINS REHEARSALS FOR SPRING CONCERT

 

The Pass Chorale is a community chorus serving the San Gorgonio Pass Area and beyond. It is directed by Ernest Siva. We just began rehearsals for our Spring Concert scheduled for May 19, and we would like to recruit new singers! Anyone with singing experience (e.g., high school choir, church choir) is invited to try us out! Reading music is preferred, but not mandatory. We sing major works with orchestra by the classical composers. This spring we will perform the Mozart Solemn Vespers, K. 339. In addition, we present several anthems, including a wonderful arrangement of Amazing Grace. The Fly Away Medley, with orchestra, has several spiritual and gospel songs about the promised land! The Spring Concert always coincides with Armed Forces Day, so we include Armed Forces Salute, a beautiful arrangement of Battle Hymn of the Republic, and the concert ends with the orchestra playing Stars and Stripes Forever!

 

The Pass Chorale meets on Tuesday evenings, 7-8:30 pm, in the San Manuel Gathering Hall at Dorothy Ramon Learning Center, 127 N. San Gorgonio Ave., Banning. For further information contact Ernest and June Siva at eandjsiva@gmail.com or 951-849-4676 and leave a message.

Pass Chorale Begins Rehearsals Again - New Singers Welcome

The Pass Chorale will begin rehearsals for our Christmas Concert on Tuesday, June 22, 2021. 

We missed out on our entire 2020 concert season and the Spring Concert for 2021 because of the Coronavirus. We have really missed singing and the wonderful fellowship among our singers!

To celebrate, we plan to begin rehearsing the Christmas portion of Handel’s Messiah plus Christmas anthems. Our concert always includes the Carol Sing-Along, everyone in the audience will be able to sing with the orchestra, along with the Chorale. We may make the concert a Messiah sing-along too. 

 

We are sure that there are singers out there who miss singing as much as we do! You are welcome to join us. So stay tuned, we will be singing again soon. We plan to start slowly since we are all "rusty" vocally.

 

Starting June 22, rehearsals will be held on Tuesdays at 7- 8:30 pm in the Gathering Hall at Dorothy Ramon Learning Center, 127 N. San Gorgonio Ave, Banning, CA.
