The Chorus of East Providence will hold open sing sessions on September 3, 10 and 17, 2024, 7 p.m. at St. Martha’s Church, 2595 Pawtucket Ave., East Providence. By attending one or all three sessions, potential members can decide whether this chorus is a good fit for them before making a commitment to join. All singers are welcome, those with experience, those who only sing in the privacy of their cars, as well as those who think they cannot sing. No auditions are required to join.

The Chorus performs one concert in December and one in May. Members are expected to commit to weekly rehearsals which are held on Tuesdays from 7 p.m. to 9:15 p.m. from September to early December and January to early May at St. Martha’s Church.
