WALPOLE CHOIR TO OFFER A FREE PUBLIC CONCERT
The Choir of the First Congregational Church of Walpole, UCC, invites all members of the community to a free concert on October 5, 2008. The concert will begin at 3pm and will be presented in conjunction with Nordic Harmoni, Vermont’s premiere Swedish Choir. Selections will include a Rodgers & Hammerstein medley, traditional spirituals, and choral anthems sung in English and Swedish. The concert will be held in honor of Madeline Tole, who was music director of the Walpole church for over 60 years and a music teacher for the Fall Mountain School District.
Both choirs will be conducted by Ken Olsson, who is currently the music director of the Walpole church. Ken is also the Artistic Director of Nordic Harmoni and was recently appointed National Assistant Director of the American Union of Swedish Singers. A free will offering will be collected to support both choirs and a reception will follow the concert.
