Cumberland Lincoln Community Chorus
Dr. Judith Lynn Stillman, Director
Now beginning its 40th season, the Cumberland-Lincoln Community Chorus includes singers from Rhode Island and SE Massachusetts, of all ages and from all musical backgrounds. We perform an average of 15 concerts a year, including a series of community outreach concerts at nursing homes, churches & community events. The highlight of our year is our annual staged musical production held each Spring. CLCC also sponsors a Teen Apprentice program and awards a $500 scholarship each Spring. If you love Bach, Broadway, the Beatles, or any other of the world's wonderful musical styles, then give us a try. We'd love to have you sing with us or just enjoy our concerts!
We accept new members at our first two rehearsals each season, in January and September. All voices are welcome, and no audition is required. For more info call Dorothy at 401-378-7073.
