Chorale Wins National Award The Susquehanna Chorale, a nationally acclaimed adult chamber ensemble based in central Pennsylvania, recently won second place in the American Prize competition, which recognizes and rewards the best performers, ensembles and composers in the United States. The chorale tied for second place in the Community Chorus division of the competition. Linda L. Tedford founded the Susquehanna Chorale in 1981 and continues to serve as its conductor and artistic director. Singers are chosen by audition for the 40-member volunteer ensemble, which strives for a precision blend of voices, professional-quality performances, and a strong personal connection with audience members. Thousands of qualified contestants from all 50 states have entered the
American Prize competition since its founding in 2009. Performance entries are accepted from both community and professional groups. Entrants range from well-known artists to lesser known ones and come from communities both large and small. Entries are judged on overall artistic quality, musicality, rhythmic incisiveness, ensemble, tone quality, accuracy, intonation and knowledge of style. The chorale was awarded the Community Chorus prize based on select pieces from its professional recordings “Sing Me to Heaven” and “Roots and Wings.” The chorale received additional consideration for the American Prize in 2015. The chorale is funded in part by the Cultural Enrichment Fund, the capital region’s united arts fund, and the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts.

Jump For Joy Schedules Fall Session
Friends In Action International (FIA) is looking for individuals to transform a variety of supplies into items to be sold at a fundraiser event on Saturday, Oct. 3. The event was inspired by the HGTV show “Flea Market Flip.” A local nonprofit, FIA uses infrastructure projects in remote locations of the globe as a platform to share the Gospel with unreached indigenous people groups. Interested readers are invited to visit FIA’s Middletown headquarters, located at 3950 E. Harrisburg Pike, by appointment to select free supplies. They may browse items left over from construction projects as well as donated yard sale items. These supplies include chairs, tables, bicycles, small furniture, books, mechanical items, and household items. With materials secured, participants can work at home using their eye for style and some elbow grease to turn these leftovers into something new. While the television show challenges participants to turn trash into treasure to compete for a cash prize, the FIA version will
instead ask participants to donate their finished creations to sell in support of FIA’s international mission work. All donated projects will be featured at a large sale hosted at the FIA headquarters on Saturday, Oct. 3, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. In the case of rain, the sale will be moved inside a warehouse facility on the property.
