HONESDALE, PA — The Wayne Choralaires, under the direction of Patricia Spoor and with accompaniment by Melissa Robbins, will soon start rehearsals for their Christmas concerts and would welcome more singers to join them. All voice parts are needed. This winter’s concerts are titled “The Joy of Christmas” and will include a wide range of sacred and popular songs. Highlights of the musical offerings include “Mary, Did You Know,” and two songs that have been recorded by Barbra Streisand, “On Holy Ground” and “Jingle Bells.”

If you love to sing and can carry a tune, you will enjoy singing with the Choralaires. You do not need to be able to read music, and there will be many solo opportunities.

Rehearsals are Wednesday evenings beginning September 8 from 8:30 to 10 p.m. in the Wesley Room of the Central United Methodist Church in Honesdale. Concerts will be Sunday afternoon and evening, November 29, in Honesdale; Thursday evening, December 3, in Carbondale; and Sunday afternoon, December 6, in Hawley. For further information, call 570/253-2104 or 253-2782.
