Clearlakes Chorale All levels of musical experience are welcome and auditions are not required! In 1982, a community chorus was formed in Wolfeboro by three area residents.

Their intent was to attract people interested in performing serious choral music. The following Fall, the group was named Clearlakes Chorale and membership began to grow. In the ensuing years, a tradition of widely varied music, both sacred and secular, was established, and membership rose steadily. The Chorale became incorporated in 1984, and tax–exempt status was established. Clearlakes Chorale welcomes new members at the start of each of its two seasons (September-December and January-May). Reading music is recommended but not required. An understanding of choral music and ability to learn music through rehearsal and practice at home are desired.

Trivia Time! What is a plygain?

Hint: It comes from Wales.

Give up? A plygain is a Welsh candlelit church service traditionally held in the early hours of Christmas morning, between 3 a.m. and dawn (!). It features "plygain carols," which are special poetic songs sung in four-part harmony.

If attending a pre-dawn service in Wales at an ancient church (like this one) is not part of your holiday plans, have no fear! You can come enjoy the dulcet beauty of plygain carols and more at our Celtic Christmas concerts in December. It will be a gorgeous collection of lilting lullabyes, jigs, and a few surprises.

Concerts are December 5 at 4 p.m. and December 6 at 2 p.m. at the First Congregational Church Wolfeboro. Ticket info coming soon!

We're two rehearsals into our Celtic Christmas season and we've already had some "whooo" moments. You know, when the song ends and there's a moment when everyone just takes a breath to absorb how beautiful it was.

Don't just sing in the shower! Sing with us on stage! Our first rehearsal of the Celtic Christmas season is coming up Thursday. If you love to sing, join us for our first two "get to know the Chorale" rehearsals: Thursday, September 3 and 10 at 6 p.m. at First Congregational Church of Wolfeboro. Plenty of parking in the lot and just come in the lower double doors...we'll meet you in the sanctuary.

It's almost time to begin our new season! The theme this fall/winter is Celtic Christmas, and rehearsals start next week. Would you like to sing some of the most beautiful carols, jigs, and lullabyes from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and beyond? Join us for our first two "get to know the Chorale" rehearsals: Thursday, September 3 and 10 at 6 p.m. at First Congregational Church of Wolfeboro. (We especially need more tenors and basses...hint hint!)

We're seeing some "Christmas in July" specials and decor around town...and that has us thinking about our upcoming Fall/Winter season. When December's chill is upon us, your Clearlakes Chorale singers will be performing "A Celtic Christmas!" Stay tuned for concert dates and times.

Hey local music lovers, there's a great swing/jazz benefit concert coming up June 6 at the same church where Clearlakes Chorale rehearses and performs (First Congregation at 115 South Main St Wolfeboro). It's for a great cause: Three groups that help our neighbors who are stretched thin getting food on the table. Come for a toe-tapping night of music and community!

Wow, thanks for the feedback we heard at our performances Saturday and Sunday! "Raucous and fun" one concert-goer said of the Broadway numbers as she left. "Gorgeous!" another shared as he headed out, noting that Italian opera is his fave. None of this would be possible without our generous donors and special sponsors, Taylor Community, Candy Sharp Sells NH Lakes Real Estate- Maxfield RE, and Doran Independent Insurance LLC. Please show our sponsors some love when you need their services!

Thank you to everyone who made it to our "From the Stage" concerts Saturday and Sunday! We hope you had as much fun as we did performing for you. Did you have any favorite moments you'd like to share? We'd love to hear from you!
