Singers Invited To Regional Rehearsals By Dayna M. Reidenouer
“Typically, there are about 800 singers with up to 5,000 (people) in attendance in the Great Auditorium. Really, (there’s) nothing like it elsewhere. (It’s) very inspiring,” said Memorial United Methodist Church (UMC) music director Tom Berdos, speaking about the Ocean Grove Choir Festival in Ocean Grove, N.J. At least that many people are expected to attend the 65th annual festival on Sunday, July 14, especially considering that Ocean Grove Camp Meeting Association, which hosts the festival, is celebrating its 150th year in 2019. “It’s an event dedicated to the glory of God, (a) very unique choral event, as well as a unique spiritual event,” Berdos remarked. “In addition to the large group on choir festival day, there are the regional rehearsals where people can meet and
enjoy other singers in their area. People often participate for many years. It becomes a very special annual event.” Memorial UMC, 101 S. Hess St., Quarryville, is one of those regional rehearsal sites. Rehearsals will be held from 7 to 8 p.m. on Wednesdays from May 29 to July 10. Folks who plan to participate in the festival choir are invited to attend as many rehearsals as possible. “The more you attend, the better prepared you will feel for the festival,” Berdos said. The theme for the festival is “On Christ the Solid Rock,” and the 10 selected anthems reflect that theme. These are “God of Ages, God Eternal” by Thomas Juneau; “Great Is Thy Faithfulness,” arranged by Nathan Carter; “Lift Thine Eyes to the Mountains” from Mendelssohn’s “Elijah”; “Pilgrim’s Chorus” from Richard Wagner’s “Tannhauser”; “At the Name of Jesus” by Rene Clausen;
