Augusta’s Lift Your Voice Community Choir is launching its 3rd season in April 2023.
The choir will be directed by Emily Miller, with guest workshops from Angie Richardson, Bare Bones Trio, Maria Carmona and Val Mindel. The concert program will feature traditional vocal music from several exciting singing traditions who live right here in West Virginia, including gospel, old-time, Colombian, shape-note and more. Singers will come away with a beautiful repertoire of new songs, a deeper understanding of the cultures they grew out of, and the lasting joy of singing together.
Rehearsals will take place on Tuesdays from 6-8pm, from April 4-June 20 with a final concert on Friday, June 23. The rehearsal location is the Augusta Dance Pavilion on the D&E Campus, which is directly next to the Myles Center for the Arts. Easiest parking is in the back lot at D&E. Call if you need specific directions (304 637 1209).
Singers of all levels, ages and vocal ranges are welcome! The project, supported by the WV Department of Arts, Culture and History, is aimed at increasing opportunities for creative aging and lifelong learning in our community.
Registration is on a sliding scale of $40 to $160 for the season, with a suggested tuition of $100.
Bring a water bottle, a recording device (like your phone!), and your vocal cords! We will provide the rest!
