The Sequim Community Christmas Chorus is preparing to launch its 2018 season of presenting sacred Christmas music for the community and is calling all who love to sing.

Registrations begin at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 18, (rehearsals begin at 6:30 p.m.) at the Sequim Seventh-Day Adventist Church, 30 Sanford Lane. Rehearsals continue on Tuesday nights and performances are set for: 7:30 p.m., Nov. 30; Dec. 1, 3 p.m., and Dec. 2, 3 p.m.

The chorus is directed by Louise Pluymen — who most recently directed choirs in the Netherlands — and accompanied by pianist Kayla Layer, who returns to the group after an absence of two years.

The chorus is open to singers of all levels of experience and participation requires no fees or auditions. Although the chorus sings only sacred Christmas music, it has no religious affiliation and is presented in cooperation with the Sequim-Dungeness Valley Chamber of Commerce.

For more information or to pre-register, pick up a registration form at Bauer Interior Designs, 119 N. Sequim Ave., or by email at gail@gailsumpter.com.
