Thread Name: Quasimodal Chorus Concert - Maine, USA 6 Dec
Subject: Quasimodal Chorus! Concert - Maine, USA
Good Friends" Concert with three community choruses: Quasimodal Chorus!, SHIRA and the Islesboro Community Chorus at the First Congregational Church in Camden on May 8th at 7 p.m

On Friday, May 8, three community choruses are collaborating to put on a "Good Friends" Concert. The concert features the Quasimodal Chorus!, SHIRA and the Islesboro Community Chorus. It will be held at the First Congregational Church in Camden at 7 p.m. in the sanctuary.   The suggested donation is $10.00 with proceeds going to support youth music scholarships at the Maine Fiddle Camp in Montville (www.mainefiddle.org).

The Quasimodal Chorus! has been singing around dining room tables since the early 80's. This group of 20 singers works on original compositions and songs from favorite composers. The group has made one CD, "So Bravely Dream," which is a compilation of songs composed by Jan Harmon, who was part of the chorus for many years. "Good Friends" written by Jan Harmon will be featured in the concert.

SHIRA is an a capella group of long-time friends who love singing together and have done so over the past 20 years. Based in the mid-coast area, the women of SHIRA have a repertoire vast and varied, ranging from gospel and spiritual music to international folk and popular tunes. The soulful, playful, joyful pleasure of their performances is infectious!

The Islesboro Community Chorus has been serenading island souls for almost 30 years under the direction of John Oldham with accompanist, Bonnie Hughes. Their repertoire is a smorgasbord of classical, traditional, multicultural and classical selections. They perform twice a year and participate at various civic events.

The Good Friends Concert is an opportunity to bring friends of music together to share, laugh and enjoy songs while raising money to support youth and their musical pursuits.
