Biweekly Lesson Schedule:

Feb. 1: Mozart Requiem; Feb. 15: Faure Requiem; March 1: Brahms German Requiem; March 15: Haydn Creation; April 5: Mendelssohn Elija; April 19: Beethoven Mass in C; May 3: Handel Messiah; May 17: Bach Mass in b minor.

The sessions are free of charge for current singers in Berkshire Lyric’s four choruses and a voluntary donation of any amount is encouraged for members of the public interested in taking part. 

More information is available at BerkshireLyric.org and email [email protected] to register in advance for the sessions.
