Choral Calendar

07/13/2025 in Hadley MA: PVS Summer Sings are open community events, each led by a different conductor, who conduct a sing-and-play-through after taking a little time to workshop tricky sections. Choral enthusiasts and instrumentalists of all experience levels are welcome to attend. Singers don’t need to have performed the work before, but will probably get the most out of the experience if they can sight-read adequately or are familiar with the work. Bring your own score or borrow a copy from the PVS. We invite instrumentalists to join a pick-up chamber orchestra, led by PVS Accompanist Larry Picard. Admission: $20 suggested (sliding scale; no one turned away due to lack of funds). CONTACT: boxoffice@pvso.org, 413-773-3664.
