The Depot Lane Singers
Over a 25 Year Tradition in Schoharie County
|
|
Our original director, Frances
Tripp, organized the Depot Lane Singers in September 1979. The chorus
began with a group of 55 area residents. It has grown to include
professional men and women of all ages and now numbers between 75 and 100
singers from Albany, Montgomery, Schenectady and Schoharie counties. No
voice try-outs are required. The Singers believe that if you love to
sing, you should be able to join with others who feel the same way. All
music is provided, and beyond the rehearsals and concerts, the most important
ingredient and greatest asset is group camaraderie and respect for good
music. Currently, The Depot Lane
Singers are under the direction of Mitch Haverly. This community chorus concert schedule is: May 2, 2009 “Made in America” December 5, 2009 “Christmas Around the World” Thanks to the SCHA who provide
rehearsal space, the Singers are able to contribute to the on-going cultural
projects of this organization. The Singers perform two concerts a year
and have also been guests at the Tall Ships Centennial Celebration in Albany,
the 4th Annual Celebration of National Volunteers Week at Proctor’s Theater
in Schenectady and the inauguration ceremony for the Cobleskill-Richmondville
Central School. At the Christmas 1998 concert,
“A Special Christmas", Frances B. Tripp, the founder and director of the
Depot Lane Singers, was honored with separate citations of recognition from
New York State Senator James L. Seward and Governor George E. Pataki for two
decades of extraordinary musical inspiration to the community. If you are interested in joining A
Community of Voices, please contact Mitch Haverly at 518-872-2682. |
