On Wednesday, Sept. 9, the San Clemente Choral Society will begin rehearsals for its 2015 Holiday Seasons Concert scheduled Dec. 5 at the Saint Andrews’s Methodist Church, or St. Andrew’s by the Sea, 2001 Calle Frontera.
There will be two performances: a matinee at 2 p.m. and an evening performance at 7 p.m. This Holiday Seasons Concert will be titled “Holidays Past and Present,” a collection of memorable and enjoyable holiday musical numbers from across the years. The 55-voice chorus will be accompanied by a small chamber group of musicians.
SCCS was created in the fall of 2004 as a community-based chorus of citizens of South Orange County. The society also presents a spring holiday concert, slated for May 2016.
The SCCS is always looking for new members and will welcome new members to begin rehearsals on Sept. 9.
Auditions are not required. Applicants just need to be able to carry a tune and be willing to commit the time and effort needed to bring about a polished and professional performance. Rehearsals are held at St. Andrews Church every Wednesday night from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., concluding with the December concert.
People are welcome to come at 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 9 to meet members of SCCS and watch or experience the initial rehearsal for the December concert.
