Membership
Rehearsals for the 2010-2011 season begin September 8th, and new membership is open through the month of September. A brief audition is required of potential members. There is a $75 membership fee and each singer purchases his/her own music. AVAS rehearses on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. in the Woods Community Center in Severna Park. EACH VOICE counts in AVAS. We number between 35 and 50 members, and every individual makes an important contribution to the total sound and atmosphere of the group. Our repertoire is diverse, including everything from Bach to Broadway. Each season presents new and challenging musical opportunities as we continue to improve our precision and vocal techniques.
Our fall concert this year features John Rutter’s MAGNIFICAT, accompanied by organ and performed at the Eastport United Methodist Church, Bay Ridge Avenue, Eastport. The date is December 5th, the time 3pm.
Looking forward to the Spring, membership is also open for the first 4 weeks of rehearsals. “Movin’ On!” is the title of our May concert; we’ll be singing about the many ways to do that: planes, trains, automobiles, etc. We hope you will be in the audience as we return to St. Margaret’s Episcopal Church, the sight of last year’s SOLD-OUT concert!
Please consider adding your voice to become one of our members, or support us by attending our concerts and showing your enthusiasm and love of choral music! Here’s to an exciting season; I hope you will be a part of it!
