ROCKPORT
A decade into is existence, the Midcoast Community Chorus is celebrating the milestone like one would expect — with a concert.
“A Time in Song” will take place at 7 p.m. Saturday, June 16, at Strom Auditorium, located at Camden Hills Regional High School on Route 90 in Rockport.
Artistic Director Steve Weston has chosen choral arrangements providing a journey of “hits” through the decades since the 1920s.
“It will be hard not to sing along,” he said in a press release.
The 170-member chorus will perform three favorites from past concerts. Sean Fleming, assistant director and pianist, will direct the band and accompany the chorus. The MCC Women’s Ensemble and the MCC Chorale will sing additional numbers.
Traditionally, audience members join in singing a few music selections. In this concert, audience and singers will also create a unique sound experience, made possible by the nearly one thousand voices present
Each June concert MCC awards a grant to a local non-profit. The 2018 beneficiary is Rockland-based One Community Many Voices. Its mission is to provide small financial boosts that support individuals and families to achieve a dream or overcome a temporary barrier, thus regaining financial stability, self-confidence and a healthy lifestyle. Recipients “pay it forward” by helping others.
