\u00a0If you\u2019ve been thinking about returning to choral singing or want to take your experience to the next level, Oxford Civic Chorus<\/strong> invites you to join as they begin their 28th season. Singers come from Oxford<\/strong> and as far away as Tupelo<\/strong> and Memphis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chorus President Chris Koban<\/strong> extends an invitation for you to join the Chorus,\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m always inspired by the amazing voices found right here in our beautiful corner of north Mississippi. Whether you\u2019ve sung on stage, in a school choir, or just for the joy of it in your car or shower-there\u2019s a place for you with us. You don\u2019t have to be a professional to sing in a community chorus. You just need a love for music and a willingness to share it. If you\u2019ve ever thought,\u00a0\u2018I\u2019d love to sing, but I\u2019m not sure I\u2019m good enough\u2019<\/em>\u2014this is your invitation. We\u2019d love to sing with you.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year\u2019s schedule features two main concerts: a winter concert in early December with an Oxford performance, and a spring joint concert with the Jackson Choral Society<\/strong>, performed in both Oxford and Jackson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The season will conclude with a special opportunity to join The Creation Tour<\/strong><\/em>\u2014a collaborative European project with other Mississippi choirs, featuring performances in Amsterdam, Belgium, and the Netherlands<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artistic director Debra Atkinson<\/strong> highlights the wonderful works that the Chorus will be featuring, \u201cThis fall Oxford Civic Chorus will present two beautiful compositions that honor Mary’s journey to Bethlehem. The first is a six-movement work by Bob Chilcott that explores Mary’s emotions as she travels the road that eventually leads her to Bethlehem. The second piece, a glorious “Magnificat” by Taylor Scott Davis, will be accompanied by a ten-piece orchestra. We hope that you will join us in singing this beautiful and inspirational music.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rehearsals are held every Monday at Oxford University United Methodist Church<\/strong>, located at 424 University Avenue, Oxford, MS. Beginning August 18, at 6:30 pm.\u00a0 For more details, visit their website: Oxford Civic Chorus \u2013 Home<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Come be a part of something inspiring\u2014right here at home and across the world!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
