Openings are available for the winter term in all of the vocal ensembles and choral groups at the Concord Community Music School, including Songweavers, the Men's Chorus and children's and teen choruses.
Songweavers, offering its 150 members the option of rehearsing either Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning, will be preparing for its annual concert April 10, which this year features a Latin theme and will include original work by percussionist Lindsay Schust.
A new women's vocal ensemble, organized this fall under the direction of Linda Mai, meets Tuesday evenings. Mai also directs the Men's chorus on Tuesday evenings.
Children's choruses, Trebelmakers and Preludes, are directed by Maria Isaak and rehearse Thursday afternoons.
Besides choruses for everyone, the Music School, now celebrating its 20th year, offers early childhood music and movement classes for children age 6 months to 6 years, as well as classical, folk or jazz instruction in piano, voice, strings, percussion, woodwinds and brass.
Between Wall and Fayette streets, just off South Street in downtown Concord, the Music School has 53 faculty members, and last year taught 1,500 students, including students taught through partnerships with schools and human service agencies across New Hampshire.
