About The Chorus
The South Windsor Community Chorus members share a desire to
provide entertainment, musical growth and education, personal
challenge, creativity, and community service. The Chorus welcomes
voices (with or without musical background) from South Windsor and
the surrounding towns.
This organization originally began in 1971 as “Friends of Music.”
Bobbie Reeves (Director) and Karen Krinjak (Accompanist) volunteered
their services to help raise money for band uniforms for the South
Windsor High School. Today, membership ranges from 40 to 50 singers
from towns throughout the region.
The Chorus performs two major concerts a season, winter and spring, as
well as shorter programs throughout the community. Our repertoire
consists of light classical, popular show tunes, and traditional numbers.
The group is sponsored in part by the Recreation Department of the
Town of South Windsor, through the generosity of companies and
organizations in the community, as well as by members of the chorus
themselves.
The Chorus awards its’ “Friends of Music” scholarship each year, to a
graduating Senior of South Windsor High School, pursuing a career in
music.
For more information on how you can join us on our musical
adventures, please call Lehman A. Mann Sr at 875-2589.

From The Director …
Welcome to our celebration of some of Broadway’s finest music. For several
years now, I have held season tickets with three of my closest friends to the
Bushnell Musical Series. I was inspired to put together this program by the
Bushnell showing of Pippin this past winter. If you ever get a chance to see the
Pippin revival – do so! You’ll love it. Another wonderful revival that will be
showing in Harford (next year) is “Newsies.” Any musical that can get my
middle school son singing along, has to have some kind of value! We end our
program with ABBA’s rocking melodies featured in the musical Mamma Mia.
This music reminds me of one of my favorite times at the Bushnell; jumping up
and dancing to the encore from Mamma Mia. So many memories of great shows
and music that you just can’t stop singing. Tonight we transport you to the
wonderful world of Musicals. May you leave with a bounce in your step and joy
in your heart.
From The President …
"Everybody can sing , Everybody used to sing and Everyone should sing."
Music throughout all of human history was about people communicating and
sharing together. (Music is the Universal Language). The gift the South
Windsor Community Chorus provides in vocal music is more powerful than
any other artistic form because when they are in the same room with people like
you , the Audience. They with their Director create something beautiful and
unbelievably compelling, “Magical Music”
