About The Chorus
The South Windsor Community Chorus members share a desire to
provide entertainment, musical growth and education, personal
challenge, creativity, and community service. The Chorus welcomes
voices (with or without musical background) from South Windsor and
the surrounding towns. This organization originally began in 1971
as “Friends of Music.” Bobbie Reeves (Director) and Karen Krinjak
(Accompanist) volunteered their services to help raise money for
band uniforms for the South Windsor High School. Today, membership
ranges from 40 to 50 singers from towns throughout the region. The
Chorus performs two major concerts a season, winter and spring, as
well as shorter programs throughout the community. Our repertoire
consists of light classical, popular show tunes, and traditional
numbers. The group is sponsored in part by the Recreation
Department of the Town of South Windsor, through the generosity of
companies and organizations in the community, as well as by members
of the chorus themselves. The Chorus awards its’ “Friends of Music”
scholarship each year, to a graduating Senior of South Windsor High
School, pursuing a career in music. For more information on how you
can join us on our musical adventures, please call Lehman A. Mann
Sr at 875-2589.

A Note from the Director .. Happy New Year! What a wonderful
opportunity we have tonight to convey our love and joy for the
Winter season through song! Just as our audience consists of people
with varied tastes in music, our program shows a variety of styles
and moods. Classic Folk music from Israel, India, and Russia
filtered between a classical Mozart Requiem, a Jazzy spiritual and
standard Holiday classics - new and old. So sit back and enjoy the
WIntertime Glow!
From The President … “The secret in singing is found between the
vibration in the singer’s voice and the throb in the hearer’s
heart.” The Conductor that can extract these from the singers’
hearts and voices and compound them into one, creates that sound
which is called “Music”. Everybody can sing, everybody used to sing
and everybody should sing. Music throughout all of human history
has been about people communicating and sharing together. The gift
we, the SWCC, have here in vocal music, is more powerful than any
other artistic form, because when you’re in the same room with
people onstage who are working together to create something
beautiful that is coming entirely from them, it’s unbelievably
compelling. Our concert, “Wintertime Aglow “ will bring to you the
feelings of the season, peace that a simple snowfall can bring. The
solemness a single candle brings, as it fills a quiet room. The
joyful sounds of families being together. I hope the sounds we
bring to you tonight will find a way into your hearts and minds
that you will take home to share with family and friends. Peace and
Joy To All!!
