by Kelly Rogge, KCKCC

Kansas City Kansas Community College is gearing up for another year of vocal music as preparations are being made for the 2016 KCKCC Community Chamber Choir season.

Rehearsals for the KCKCC Community Chamber Choir are Mondays at 7 p.m. Aug. 22 to Dec. 5 in the choir room (Room 2170 of the Humanities Building) on the KCKCC campus, 7250 State Ave. Those interested must complete registration by Aug. 15.

Open to any singer who is at least in high school in Wyandotte, Johnson or Leavenworth counties and who has a desire to sing in a large ensemble, the repertoire of the Community Chamber Choir includes everything from major works to songs from all periods of music. The group performs in two major concerts each semester with the KCKCC Chamber Choir, and while experience in choral singing is recommended, it is not required.

The choir is offered through Community Education, and the cost is $30. It can also be taken for academic credit. Those interested can enroll in person at the Community Education Building, which is on the east side of the main KCKCC campus; by phone at 913-288-7660 or online at http://bit.ly/29S5WEk.
