Welcome to the
Acadia Choral Society.
ACS is excited to announce the beginning of rehearsals for its fall 2024 season. Under the direction of Rebecca DeWan, our new Artistic Director, we anticipate a dynamic and exciting season.
Rehearsals begin Tuesday, September 10 at 7 pm at the Unitarian Universalist Church, 121 Bucksport Rd in Ellsworth. Everyone is invited to join and be part of this musical adventure. The choir will be preparing for concerts December 6 and 7. Performances will celebrate the holiday season, the winter solstice, and the ethereal moon.
Acadia Choral Society is excited to welcome Dr. Rebecca DeWan as our new Artistic Director. Rebeca is an assistant professor of choral music education at the University of Maine. Additionally, ACS will be accompanied by Julia Morris-Myers. A noted keyboardist and former St. Saviour’s music director, Morris-Myers brings a wealth of experience to enhance the chorus’s musical presentation.
The Acadia Choral Society welcomes singers from the community to join rehearsals and be part of this exhilarating musical journey. Whether you are an experienced vocalist, or you want to explore the joy of singing, ACS invites you to join them on Tuesday evenings for a fun and enriching experience.
