If so, you know a choral experience is one of a kind. It is
challenging and rewarding; created by a community, with
an opportunity for personal reflection and expression that
you never forget. The more people I meet that have had a
choral experience, the more I know the Lycoming Baroque
Choir and Orchestra (LBCO) is going to be successful and
meaningful.
I have known far too many good musicians that have had to
give up opportunities to continue making music because their
lives have become too busy. The Lycoming Baroque Choir and
Orchestra is for those of us who cherish our choral memories,
but have busy lives filled with hectic schedules. It is an
auditioned choir that will promote music from the Baroque
and Renaissance eras in one, high-quality choral performance
each semester. We will use a professional model of condensed
rehearsals –five rehearsals over one long weekend (Thursday –
Sunday). This makes it possible to do in addition to our day jobs.
To ensure the highest quality, this choir is an auditioned
choir. We have to be certain that all members of the ensemble
can learn the music on their own time, so that we can focus
on perfecting the style, tone and interpretation during
rehearsal instead of spending time learning notes. If you’re
interested in auditioning, please visit our website for details at
lycomingbaroque.wix.com/lycomingbaroque.
Williamsport is the perfect place to begin this new
choral adventure. Not only is it an artistic hub, but it is also
surrounded by colleges with musical legacies. The possibilities
for the future are endless.
I hope you will consider joining us!
