Congratulations to Tessa Tenasco, the 2025 recipient of Rockingham Choral Society's $1,000 Dr. Henry Wing Memorial Music Scholarship!

The award was presented to Tessa on July 1, 2025, at Christ’s Church in Exeter, NH.

Tenasco plans to attend the University of Hartford in the fall to pursue a Bachelor of Music with a focus on vocal performance.

“When I was little, I had always dreamed of working within the music industry to become a professional singer,” said Tenasco. “For me, music began as a hobby. From there, it became a passion in my life, something that I engage in on a daily basis. That passion then grew to become a major career goal in my life,” said Tessa.

“The selection committee was impressed by Tessa’s depth of experience both as a vocalist and a musician,” said Charlie Smith, RCS President. “The society is proud to be able to support Tessa’s ambitions to pursue music in her post-secondary education.”

This scholarship was made possible in part through the generous support of The Brook Casino in Seabrook, NH. More information about the Rockingham Choral Society can be found at www.rockinghamchoral.org

Rockingham Choral Society Seeking Interim Artistic Director for Upcoming Season
EXETER, NH: The Rockingham Choral Society is seeking an interim Artistic Director for the upcoming 2025-2026 season.
Since 1957, the Rockingham Choral Society has expanded and enhanced cultural experiences by performing choral masterpieces and adhering to the highest musical standards. The member-led and operated group of over 100 auditioned singers draws its members from several communities in the New Hampshire Seacoast area.
As one of the largest and oldest groups in New England, the purpose of Rockingham Choral Society is to foster the art of performing choral music of all periods. The chorus allows singers the opportunity to enhance their musical knowledge and skill, and to enjoy the fellowship of others while preparing and performing challenging repertoire, ranging from the Renaissance to contemporary, including past performances of commissioned works.
The society strives to present concerts of the highest quality to the community. Foremost, this group exists for the enjoyment and education of singers and audience. All soloists are chosen from the widely diverse membership.
“The Interim Director will have the opportunity to work with a multi-generational, multicultural and multi-interest group, all of whom enjoy the spirit of singing and sharing their musical gift with others,” said Charlie Smith, President.
The group has an experienced and active Board of Directors comprised of members that meet four to six times per year in order to take care of most organizational matters. The director serves on the Board as a voting member. The choir rehearses Tuesday evenings from 7:00-9:00 p.m. in Exeter, NH and performs two sets of concerts annually in the spring and December.
More information about the Interim Artistic Director position and Rockingham Choral Society can be found at www.rockinghamchoral.org
Applications will be accepted until June 30, 2025.
