Join Brattleboro Harmonia and Sing this Spring – AM

This spring, after three decades of creating harmonies together, Brattleboro Harmonia (formerly the Brattleboro Women’s Chorus) enters a historic new chapter. The chorus’ 30th Anniversary spring semester marks both a bold rebrand and a heartfelt farewell to founder Becky Graber, who celebrates her final season as Musical Director.

To honor these milestones, Brattleboro Harmonia invites new singers to join the chorus for this once-in-a-lifetime spring season. Our first rehearsals on Thursday, March 5 are open rehearsals for new singers to come and check out the chorus to see if it is a good fit for them. Advance registration is required via our website.

 

Rehearsals are held Thursday mornings from 10:00 am – noon at the Brattleboro Music Center, or Thursday evenings from 6:30 – 8:30 pm at First Congregational Church in West Brattleboro. Evening rehearsals are required for those who want to sing in our Mother’s Day concert at the Latchis Theatre, while morning rehearsals are for more relaxed (but equally fun) singing, without the pressure of concert preparation.

 

The spring 2026 semester is more than just a series of rehearsals; it is the culmination of three decades of song. Not only will Becky Graber lead her final concert as director this Mother’s Day, she will pass her title of Musical Director off to local musician Anna Patton, who brings a wealth of musical depth and a fresh, eclectic repertoire to this milestone semester.

 

Brattleboro Harmonia welcomes women and non-binary/gender-queer folks, ages 10 and up, whose range comfortably includes the A in the middle of the treble staff (soprano, alto, and tenor ranges). Whether you are a seasoned vocalist or have only ever sung in the shower, Brattleboro Harmonia welcomes singers of all abilities. The chorus utilizes the oral tradition—teaching most music by ear through repetition and joy—making the experience both accessible and powerful.

 

Advance registration for the March 5th Open Rehearsals is required via the website. For those who choose to join for the full season, tuition is offered on a sliding scale ($85–$180), with financial assistance readily available to ensure community singing remains accessible to all.
