Waimea Community Chorus is celebrating its 25th season and director Barbara Kopra is inviting interested community members to join the 60-voice group.

“This is a great way to see what we’re all about, people get to try us out and see if they like it,” Kopra said.

New Members are invited to the first two rehearsals free of charge at 6:45 p.m. Jan. 16 and 23 in the Mike Luce Studio at the Kahilu Theatre in Waimea. For those who choose to join, membership cost is $55 for the season, which includes the music.

No audition is necessary, but members need to be passionate about singing in a group and committed to attending rehearsals. Reading music is a plus.

The chorus rehearsals are 6:45-9 p.m. every Tuesday in the Mike Luce Studio. Extra sectional rehearsals will be offered on the weekends.

The first performances are 7 p.m. June 2 and 3 p.m. June 3 at the Kahilu Theatre. The theme is “Chapter 3 of the Great American Songbook: The 1940’s, Golden Age of Song.”

For more information, contact Kopra at bkopra@hpa.edu or call the Kahilu Theatre box office at 885-6868.
