The Community Chorus of Palm Coast held the first practice of the fall season on Monday, Aug. 31. The chorus was established in 2010 and is celebrating its 16th season.

Chorus Director Sydney LeDuc is excited for the opportunity to work with the experienced group.

“It’s going to be a really energetic season,” LeDuc said.

The chorus is made up of over 40 members and they sing everything from classical, sacred, and traditional choral pieces to contemporary and Broadway musical numbers.

This year the chorus has two Christmas concerts at the end of the season: 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 4; and 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6.

This year’s chorus also has a bonus performance.

“We’re [also] part of the Flagler County government memorial service on Veterans Day,” Marketing Director Nancy Hoffman said.

Concerts are free for attendees.

Trinity Presbyterian Church, at 156 Florida Park Drive N., donates the building and facilities free of charge for chorus rehearsals and also for the performances.

It’s not too late for those that would like to sing with the chorus. Rehearsals are every Monday night, 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

“We charge $40 for the dues each season; that goes towards purchasing music, paying our director, and paying our accompanist,” said Donna Kenyon, chorus president. “We also make a donation to Trinity for hosting us.”

Kenyon said that the community chorus is what drew her to the area.

“Many of us, myself included, chose Palm Coast to live because they have the chorus,” Kenyon said.
