Literacy Volunteers sets book-signing today

The Literacy Volunteers Next Chapter Bookstore will present a book-signing with Jack Cashill at 12 Park Place, Fredonia from 5 to 7 p.m. today. A discussion will also take place with the author regarding his book “Untenable: The True Story of White Ethnic Flight from America’s Cities.”

Choir plans fall rehearsals

Fredonia Community Choir directed by Phillip McMullen will begin rehearsals for their late fall concert on Sunday. Rehearsals are from 6 to 8 p.m. in the Studio on Main, 50 W. Main St., Fredonia.

The group is a mixture of community members from surrounding communities, local high school students and some SUNY college students. They sing longer works not usually done in community choirs. As a non-profit group, it is most grateful for having recently received a grant from the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation.

This fall on Dec. 15, the group will present two masterful works. The first piece is Dreamworks by Olio Gjelio. This one has a Christmas narrative. The second piece is a new work, Amaliah’s Visit, composed by recently deceased Marie Sharon.

Participants are asked to bring another singing friend and join in for a positive singing experience.

In the spring the group will be at long last, singing Gjelio’s Sunrise Mass which we were just days away from doing when COVID-19 hit in March 2019. For those unable to sing this fall, plan on joining the Fredonia Community Choir in rehearsals starting at the end of January for a late March performance date.
