Augusta’s Lift Your Voice Community Choir is launching its 5th season in April 2024.
The singers will be directed by Emily Miller, with guest workshops from Angie Richardson, Gerry Milnes, Olivia Perske and Val Mindel. The concert program will feature traditional vocal music from several exciting musical traditions found right here in West Virginia, including gospel, old-time, Italian, 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 6-8 pm, starting April 2, with a concert on Friday, June 14. This season, we will be rehearsing at the Randolph County Community Arts Center.
Singers of all levels, ages and vocal ranges are welcome to participate. The project is aimed at increasing opportunities for lifelong learning in the local community. Singers can learn more and register at augustaartsandculture.org. Registration is on a sliding scale of $40 to $200 for the season, with singers choosing the level they can contribute.
Bring a water bottle, a recording device (like your phone!), and your vocal cords! We will provide the rest!
