On April 3, the community chorus will be doing a centennial concert. They will be joined by past members of community chorus.

The Centennial Choir will be singing songs from the years 1911 through 1920, in honor of CSC’s centennial celebrations.

The community choir is directed by Dr. Una Taylor, who is excited about the concert and the line-up she is planning, which so far includes pieces like “I’m Always Chasing Rainbows,” by Harry Carroll and Joseph McCarthy; “Ragtime Cowboy Joe,” by Maurice Abrahams; “Danny Boy,”  by Frederic Weatherly; and “God Bless America,” by Irving Berlin.

The concert is open to former members of community choir, who will be joining with the current members to deliver the concert.

Rehearsals start Jan. 20 and will be Thursdays from 7-9 p.m. in the Memorial Hall choir room.
