MATTAPOISETT _ Rehearsals will begin for the Sippican Choral Society’s springtime “Mostly Mozart” concert at 7:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 7 at St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, 26 Hammond St.

Everyone is invited to participate, with proof of vaccination. 

“We tend to perform music for large ensembles,” said Sippican Choral Society President Mike Chaplain.  “The more voices we have, the better we sound.”

This will be the Sippican Choral Society’s 58th year of making music. The society draws its members from towns throughout the area.

To protect everyone involved, the group’s rehearsals are limited to 45 minutes, masked, in a large, well-ventilated church with room for everyone to keep their distance, Chaplain said.

“With these precautions, we were able to put on two Christmas concerts in December,” he said.  

The Sippican Choral Society is a volunteer organization, with a professional music director who can help all singers to develop their skills. 

“You don’t even need to know how to read music,” said Chaplain. “Through the rehearsal process, you’ll get to know your way around all our compositions, and probably will get to where sheet music is at least starting to make sense to you.’’

Proof of vaccination will be required at the door, and masks are essential.  Specialized “singing masks” are available.
