Oxford Civic Chorus is gearing up for another fun season of music and community, and the first few rehearsals are open to everyone.

Grab a friend and come to OU-UMC Wesley Hall at 6:30 p.m. on Jan. 20 where you will have a chance to meet the director and other members and sing some tunes from the spring program.

If you’re unable to attend on the 20th, you can still come to either of the next two rehearsals, on Jan. 27 or Feb. 3. These are open rehearsals and all are welcome.

You don’t need any formal training to join — just the ability to match pitch and a love of singing.

Spring performance dates are May 3 and 4. The program is “The Great American Songbook,” featuring beloved music by Rodgers and Hammerstein, George Gershwin, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter and Leonard Bernstein.
