Community Chorus to debut new director at spring concert
The Siuslaw High School Chamber Choir, the Encore Dancers,
CROW Kids and the Flotones will all be special guest performers
at the May 1 Community Chorus of Florence performance. The
spring concert, titled “Irving Berlin Meets Uncle Sam,” will include
a number of patriotic songs as well as old favorites that people
enjoy singing or humming along with. Irving Berlin wrote hundreds
of songs, many becoming major hits, which made him a “legend”
before he turned 30.
During his 60-year career, Berlin wrote an estimated 1,500
songs, including the scores for 19 Broadway shows and 18 Hollywood
fi lms, with his songs nominated eight times for Academy Awards.
The concert will be held Sunday, May 1, beginning at 2 p.m. at
the Florence Events Center.
Tickets are $10 for adults, with attendees age 18 and younger
admitted free.
In addition, new Community Chorus of Florence director Jennifer
Weier will make her debut during the spring concert. Having moved
to Florence in December of 2015, Weier quickly became emeshed in
the local music scene. In addition to directing the Chorus, Weier, an
accomplished pianist, also provides accompaniment for local church
choirs and the Flotones.
