Mountain Voices Community Choir will perform on Friday, June 16, in Cornelia. If you’re a movie or music buff, this concert’s for you!
“Let’s Go to the Movies” is the theme of this year’s annual summer concert. It will take place at 7 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church of Cornelia.
The concert is free. A love offering will be taken up during the performance.
Mountain Voices is in its second decade of performing. Current members range in age from 14 years to their mid-70s. They travel from Habersham, Hall, Stephens, and Jackson counties to participate.
“Mountain Voices members have been blessed with wonderful friendships as well as the joy of making music together for sixteen years and more than 90 concerts,” says James, who founded the choir in the mid-2000s. “Some previous members of our group have moved away or passed on. Some members have been in almost every concert, and some are brand new to this concert!”
Anyone over the age of 14 is welcome to join; it doesn’t matter where they live.
“If they can make it to rehearsals, then they’re good to go!” says James.
This is the third year Mountain Voices has performed at Cornelia First Presbyterian. Previous concerts have been held at other venues throughout Habersham County.
The Presbyterian church is located at 469 North Main Street in Cornelia.
