A Name Change
Our "community" chorus is now going to be called The Brattleboro Concert Choir. For those of you who have actually heard us, you probably have a good idea why this is the case. For years now, our "community" chorus has far surpassed itself in professionalism, talent and dedication to challenging performance material. Plus, we have these amazing soloists who, though honored to perform with us, won't list their performance with the Brattleboro Community Chorus on their resumes due to the negative connotations that one word has. To most of the rest of the music world and music fan world it just screams "amateur." That is definitely not who we are as an ensemble anymore. We are a community, we are all local musicians who don't make a living at singing. And the word community generally means lots of positive things, which is why our director had resisted this change for so long. But we have had so much good training in the ensemble with guest artists and our fantastic director, that the connotation of amateur/community ensemble just doesn't fit anymore, not even slightly.
So, I am proud to announce our name change to The Brattleboro Concert Choir. I hope many of our will be able to hear us in the early winter when we do another Russian piece. Dates and exact piece information I'll have in September. Stay tuned. . . :)
