Jubilee Chorus Held 2016 Season First Rehearsal

Apr 07, 2016

April 5 marked the first rehearsal of Jubilee's spring season, bringing with it many new changes and new faces. In an exciting shift, Jubilee will be a women's group this season, which presents the opportunity to sing some beautiful SSAA music. In our first rehearsal, we welcomed two new section leaders, soprano Hillary Schranze and alto Victoria Craves. We are thrilled to have these talented women join our ensemble and increase Jubilee's professionalism!

Director Bill Heigen announced initial programming for this season, including pieces such as "You'll Never Walk Alone" by Rodgers and Hammerstein, "I Will Follow Him" from the movie Sister Act, and traditional gospel hymn "Standing in the Need of Prayer." Jubilee members had a lot of fun learning the parts to these beautiful songs. Alto section leader Rachel Porter said, "I'm more and more impressed with Jubilee every rehearsal! We've gained some phenomenal singers and some gorgeous repertoire, and I can't wait for our audiences to hear us perform."

Upcoming events include an outreach event at 2:30 p.m. on April 23 at the Richmond Center, a May 28 concert, and the Jubilee Anniversary Concert in St. Louis on July 10.

Jubilee Chorus is still welcoming volunteer voices for the spring. We rehearse every Tuesday from 7-9 at Jubilee's NYC office. Please pray for their season steps for spreading gospel through the Christian Music.
