The Island Community Chorus begins a new semester of rehearsals at the Edgartown Public Library at 7 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 13, to prepare for its spring concerts, to be held on May 3 and 4 at the Old Whaling Church.

The chorus will offer two welcoming informational sessions at the library for anyone interested in joining, at 7 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 6 and again on Wednesday, Jan. 15. These sessions will be opportunities to meet music director Bill Peek and some of the choir’s members, and to learn more about singing with the chorus.

The chorus will meet Monday nights this winter and spring, taking a winter break on the last Monday of February and the first two of March.

Suggested dues for the semester are $40. For more information, contact islandchorus@gmail.com.
