Riverworks Adult Choir

Class Description

Tuesdays from 7-8:30 PM Fall/Winter semester: September 23rd - December 16th $50 materials fee per semester An inclusive choir for adults (and advanced teens) who want to grow their musical skills and sing together! Whether your background is choir, karaoke, or just singing in the shower, you’ll find a welcoming place here. No formal training is required—music reading skills are a plus, but a good ear and willingness to learn are just as valuable. We’ll begin with the fundamentals of choral singing and ensemble work, then grow together toward a cappella singing with rich, close harmonies. Repertoire will span centuries and styles—from Renaissance madrigals to contemporary musicals, pop, and vocal jazz. Throughout the year, singers will have opportunities to perform, including special collaborations with Riverworks’ other music groups, building a vibrant, cross-generational music community. Our Directors: The choir is directed by Christina Carr, a Juilliard-trained opera singer and an active member of the Poolesville community since 2018, and Sarah Paksima, a dedicated Poolesville Town Commissioner and active community leader. Christina and Sarah are both inaugural members of the Riverworks Reserve Wind Ensemble, bringing their deep love for music and their commitment to enriching the local arts scene into every rehearsal. Let’s make music together!
