Music on the Hill welcomes singers for the 15th annual Summer Chorus. (Students welcome!) This year's selection: the Schubert Mass in E-Flat led by artistic director Ellen Dickinson. This is one of Schubert's last major works, rarely performed but filled with the lyrical beauty for which he was admired.
Summer Chorus rehearsals are Tuesdays and Thursdays, 7 to 9 p.m.,starting June 27. (No rehearsal July 4.) Concert: Thursday, July 27, 8 p.m. Rehearsals and concert take place at St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in the WEPCO church complex in Wilton on Rte. #106 (36 New Canaan Road).
No audition. Register in advance with voice part to ellen@musiconthehillCT.org or 203-529-3133. Cost: $40 suggested minimum contribution; $20, students.
