CANNON BEACH — The Cannon Beach Chorus announces the beginning of rehearsals for the spring 2015 season.

Rehearsals will start Monday, Jan. 5 at the Cannon Beach Community Church, located at 132 East Washington St. The sessions, always on Monday, begin promptly at 6:30 p.m. and end no later than 8:30 p.m. Member dues are $35 for the term.

The theme for this spring is “Choral Gems.” It’s a compilation of some of the most popular choral compositions of all time, selected by chorus director John Buehler. The list includes “Kyrie” from Mass in G Major by Schubert, “Alleluia” by R. Thompson and another from J.S. Bach, “Ave Verum Corpus” by Mozart, and many more.

The chorus has created a tradition of excellence in performance. The group invites anyone and everyone who is interested in working to help make a great performance for the audience.

Auditions are not necessary to join the Cannon Beach Chorus. The only thing needed is the willingness to adhere to the rehearsal schedule and a desire to sing to the best of your ability.

Plan to arrive early for the first rehearsal. You will need to get the new music, pay dues and say hello to friends old and new.
