Community outreach
|
The Portland Community Chorus at the core is a “community” chorus. While the major focus each spring and fall is preparations for the December and May concerts, the PCC, under the enthusiastic leadership of our Assistant Director Liz Rollins, continues a strong community outreach program. The Senior Outreach Chorus performs at area nursing, assisted-living and group homes throughout the greater Portland area. This long standing tradition of sharing our love of music with the well-deserving residence at these facilities brings smiles and tears of joy to so many, especially our own members. The PCC continues to look for funding to expand our Senior Outreach program to visit more facilities each year.
The Celebration Choir was formed in 2013 to allow the chorus to build a strong repertoire of holiday-based songs and other crowd favorites. The growth of the Celebration Choir, with performances at the Portland Sea Dogs, Portland Christmas Tree Lighting, the Scarborough Christmas Tree Lighting, the Portland Country Club Breakfast with Santa and the L.L. Bean Northern Lights Celebration are the beginning of a promising partnership between the PCC and our local communities. |
Our Mission Statement: To develop artistic excellence and share a passion for choral music with our community through performance, education, and public outreach. |
