This year the Frontenac Women's Chorus is celebrating its 20th year. The chorus began in 1995 under the direction of Jennifer Bennett. She directed the chorus until 2001, at which time Betty Wagner assumed the role of director. The chorus is made up of about 25 women who rehearse on Monday evenings at Trinity United Church in Verona and new and former members are always invited to join in the fun. The chorus has performed many concerts featuring a varied repertoire in local communities as well as participated in Kiwanis Music Festivals in Kingston.
Former members are invited to celebrate this special occasion with an afternoon get-together and the rehearsing of a familiar piece of music to be sung during the concert performed by the current chorus on May 31 at the Grace Centre in Sydenham, beginning at 3:30. We are requesting that all former members who wish to be a part of this exciting celebration contact either Kathie Nichols at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or Barb Rodgers at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. as soon as possible.
Our celebration will also include a farewell to Betty Wagner, who is retiring as director. This concert will be Betty's last time directing this dedicated and friendly group of women. The chorus will be welcoming Patty Smith as its new director in the fall.
You will be contacted with further details about the day of the reunion after sending us your contact information. The chorus warmly welcomes former members to come and help us celebrate!
