The Warwick Valley Chorale began rehearsals on Tuesday, January 20, for its spring concert season. The area’s longest-running community chorus continues with its 74th season. Conducted by Stanley Curtis, the chorale will be preparing a program of wide musical contrasts ranging from the gently pastoral Frostiana by Randall Thompson to edgy, urbane medleys from Sweeney Todd and West Side Story.

Auditions are not required. Dues of $40, with a reduction for additional family members, are collected at registration. New members may join on February 3, at 6:30 pm at the Warwick Reformed Church at 16 Maple Avenue, Warwick 10990. Current members should also report at 6:30 for registration. Regular rehearsal times are 7:30 until 9:30 on Tuesday evenings.

The chorale, which is a volunteer organization of more than 75 voices, has sung at Carnegie Hall and Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center many times.
