The Endless Mountains Children’s Choir will begin the Fall/Winter season on Thursday October 6, 2016 6:30PM to 8:00PM with a first rehearsal at the South Gibson United Methodist Church in South Gibson, PA. Any child is welcome. We are always hoping to have more children join our choir and our musical family. There is no tuition fee - no cost required to join the choir - choir robes are provided to the children. All funds are generated by generous community support from our fund raising events and from private and community donations.
The children have the opportunity to learn and perform various types of choral literature including classical music of many great composers; folk songs from many countries; gospel and sacred music; Latin chant; multicultural music from many countries (they have performed music in 13 foreign languages); music in American sign language; popular music; music from Broadway shows; The children are taught notation; rhythm; vocal technique - proper breath control; vocal placement; posture; vocal blend; vocal balance (singing with other voices); intonation; solfege; notation; rhythm; how to follow the conductor’s gestures (tempo, dynamics, expression).
The choir is a community choir which rehearses once a week on Thursdays 6:30PM to 8:00PM at the South Gibson United Methodist Church. This year we will perform an evening holiday performance at the National Christmas Tree in Washington, D.C. We are just awaiting our date and performance time.
We are always looking for new and challenging musical experiences that might be of interest to some to the children as well as new exciting performance experiences for the choir. The most important thing is sharing their love of music and enjoying singing. This is truly an amazing opportunity for your child to get involved in a beautiful musical experience. If your child loves to sing and loves music (most children do - nothing is more beautiful than to hear children sing) this is an experience your child should definitely not miss.
If your child would like to join the choir please email or call Dr. Christine Plonski Sezer, founder/artistic director. Email drcsezer@gmail.com or drcsezer@yahoo.com. Phone (570)756-2729.
