‘The magic of the music’

Kearsarge Chorale’s spring performance “If you haven’t been following the Kearsarge Chorale, you’ve been missing out - missing out on 15 years of the magic of their music,” according to long-time audience member Linda Barnes of Salisbury.

In this fifteenth anniversary year, concerts are to take place on May 25 and November 23.

Join your neighbors on Saturday, May 25 at 3 p.m. at Kearsarge Regional High School in North Sutton for a program of Broadway, movie and other popular musical works.

Weekly rehearsals have been under way since midFebruary for the spring concert at Kearsarge Regional High School, “An Afternoon at the Theater.” This matinee will include show tunes from West Side Story, Mamma Mia, Mary Poppins, Godspell, My Fair Lady, Phantom of the Opera and

more. More than 30 singers who come together from Andover, Bradford, Salisbury, New London, Elkins, Sunapee, Sutton, Newbury and Warner are participating with an age range of about 30 to nearly 90.

David Almond, then organist and choirmaster for New London’s First Baptist Church, in 2008 invited area singers to join in a tribute to the great English composer, Ralph Vaughan Williams.

The result was so powerful and rewarding that many of the singers wanted to continue as a group. The group soon became known as Kearsarge Chorale, and was incorporated as a non-profit in 2009 with a mission to provide an outstanding musical experience for the enjoyment and education of singers, and enrichment of the broader community.

Community enrichment indeed. Since inception, fall

and spring concerts have been offered in New London at venues including First Baptist Church, Colby Sawyer College, Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church and currently Kearsarge Regional High School. Newport Meeting House, New London Hospital, and Wilmot Community Center have also featured Chorale singers.

evening, I am joyful, relaxed and filled with pride at the camaraderie and achievements of our group.” She also pointed out the health benefits of singing: exercising the brain as well as the body, fostering deep breathing, reduction of stress levels and enhanced immune system.

What do audience members experience? For one listener the first word that comes to mind is “community.” There is something for everyone, the very young alongside seniors, sharing in the joy of the performance. The audience is collectively enriched by the communication between the performers and those in attendance, and experiences a range of emotions stirred by the powerful songs, she said. For another listener, the immediate response to

the November concert was of “beautiful singing” that led to “joy, emotion and a sense of peace,” and “a sense of belonging and community.” In agreement is one of the Chorale’s younger members, alto Hannah Herrick of Newbury, who stated that “singing with the Chorale has given me a creative outlet during the early years of motherhood, allowing me to pause the rhythms of life with little kids to do something that is just for me and to engage with the community in a meaningful way.”

You can also follow the Kearsarge Chorale on their website at www.kearsargechorale.org and their Facebook page. Those interested in singing with the Chorale in the fall for a November 23 concert should contact kearsargechorale@ gmail.com.

middle and high school band and choir. Previously he was the K-8 music teacher at Andover Elementary/Middle School for five years.

With a Master of Music in Music Education from Boston University and Bachelor of Science in Music Education from Plymouth State University, Ager joined the chorale in the fall of 2017 as a singer in the bass section and has been Artistic Director since 2019.

The Chorale’s current collaborative pianist is founder David Almond, who served as Artistic Director for six years. He has spent a lifetime in music as an organist, choir director, conductor, composer and arranger. He has served as organist/choir director at different times for First Baptist Church and St. Andrew’s Church (both in New London) and now as organist at First Congregational Church in Hopkinton.

Donald Cox of New London served as Artistic Director of the Chorale between Almond and Ager.

Salisbury soprano Linda Barnes (mother-in-law to the audience member of the same name), now the Chair of Kearsarge Chorale, was one of those singers in the tribute to Vaughan Williams 15 years ago and recently commented that going to rehearsal on winter evenings is sometimes difficult.

book of the week determined to save Signy and maintain the bond forged between the three of them in childhood.

I really enjoyed the strength of all the female characters in this story; they all make their feelings and voices heard and carve their own paths in life.

The settings, cultural attributes, and some characters are based on historical accounts from the Viking Age, the Icelandic sagas, and the writings of Ahmad ibn Fadlan, an ambassador from Baghdad who chronicled the lives of the Vikings extensively. The blend of history and fantastical elements was seamless and makes this book a very compelling read.

I’m told by my clients who are new to Medicare that they feel fortunate to have me “hold their hand” and help them through the process. I will hold your hand too if you want my assistance as you face this dilemma of decisions.

Much of my consultation time is going through the appropriate steps of someone just getting their Medicare active. But this seems to be the most daunting step for most that I meet with.

You can enroll in Medicare online by going to SSA.gov. Medicare alone is not enough, and that's where I come in to help you understand your Medicare options. Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare Supplement (Medi-gap) plans and Medicare Drug plans are complex and the fact that you can have my knowledge (at no cost to you) to help you decide the right choice for you at this milestone in your life will give you peace of mind.

Well, that’s what my clients tell me at least.

I do not offer every plan available in your area. Any information we provide is limited to those plans we do offer in your area. Please contact Medicare.gov or 1-800MEDICARE to get information on all your options.

Meanwhile, the younger Boram was helping to man the telescope display, where viewers of all heights could catch a glimpse. She said she and the rest of the team had been seriously planning for the eclipse for about a year and a half.

Viewers were virtually the same as the glasses but they had to be held in place.

The center had been selling eclipse glasses for the last 18 months and ran out multiple times.

A Bow family was probably one of the most excited groups there. They stood together looking up with their eclipse glasses on. The kids and adults all wore big smiles, but grandmother Ellen Graham’s was the biggest.

“What a gorgeous day for it,” Graham said. “My last eclipse was in 1945 and we used pin boxes [to see it].”

For Maggie Howard, of Rhode Island, it was the first time she said she traveled to see an eclipse but not the first one she’s seen – there was one over Providence when she was 12, she said.

“We used the pinhole method and my dad put out a bucket, we didn’t have these [eclipse glasses],” she said.

Other than pulling up a chair and grabbing a snack, the center was prepared with multiple activities while visitors waited for totality.

The Boram family, from Seattle, was volunteering at the discovery center to be beside their daughter, Wallis Boram, who works as an education coordinator there, that day. Parents Carrie and Brian were running a table with Katie Marinoff-Silk, director of development.

The table held supplies for visitors to make Cyanotype sun prints, where you could

some people began packing up their things, but no one was in a rush.

From Concord, Cole and Mackenzie Padula sat on a blanket in the grass with their son, who snacked on two different apples. They’d been to the Discovery Center before and were happy to be back.

“We had his first birthday here, he loves spaceships,” Mackenzie said. “[The eclipse] was great, it was awesome.”
