Who would have thought that a group of such diverse individuals could make the sound they do in northeast Texas. The North East Texas Choral Society has been making great sounds since its beginning. The first call for auditions in 1998 brought about 100 people together from all walks of life that have one thing in common; we love to sing.
The Choral Society currently performs two major concerts per year. The Christmas concert is held the first weekend in December, and the spring concert is held the first weekend in May. Each concert consists of a Saturday evening and a Sunday afternoon performance. Our friends continue to tell us that each concert is better than the last. Each performance is recorded and CD's are available. Come hear us sing, and while you are there, pick up a CD to take home with you.
Our major fund raising event each year is our Cabaret. Each Cabaret consists of an excellent dinner, and super entertainment. This is the time that we get to show our supporters how much we appreciate them. This is also the time when the Choral Society members get to show off their talents. The Cabaret performances are filled with fun and excitement. Don't miss an opportunity to attend this performance.
Summer Auditions:
- Auditions for new singers, which will include all voice parts, on Saturday, August 16, 2008 in the choir room of First United Methodist Church in Sulphur Springs. These auditions will be from 10:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. No prepared audition material is necessary. Due to our level of performance, it is recommended that the singer read music, but certainly we will welcome anyone to audition. Contact Linda Riddle for more information.
