Kennebec Performing Arts Company resumed rehearsals the week of January 26 in preparation for its spring concerts, which are scheduled for May 2 and 3. KPAC welcomes experienced and committed musicians to join the groups, with open enrollment continuing through February. From the rehearsal process through the seasonal performances, the KPAC groups aim for the highest standards in rehearsal etiquette, routine and practice. All vocalists and instrumentalists must be able to read music and be proficient in the technical aspects of performance.
The spring choir repertoire features works by Vivaldi, Gershwin, Tin, and an anticipated collaboration with the KPAC Jazz Band. In addition, the jazz band will feature music of Duke Ellington, Charles Mingus, John Coltrane, as well as rock and funk tunes. The wind ensemble will perform a range of pieces spanning nearly 150 years, from Strauss and Sousa to more recent movie themes, and a piece composed in 2015, Of Our New Day Begun, honoring those lost in the Charleston, South Carolina, church shooting.
