NORTH COVENTRY — The Coventry Singers will be performing its Spring Concert on Sunday, April 27, at 3 p.m. at Cedarville United Methodist Church, 1092 Laurelwood Road.
The concert will be a tribute to Broadway featuring songs from “Wicked,” “The Lion King,” “Jesus Christ Superstar,” “Cats,” “Phantom of the Opera,” “West Side Story,” “Porgy and Bess,” “The Music Man,” and more!
In addition to songs from the bright lights of Broadway we will be performing the beautiful “Exultate Deo” by Scarlatti, “Alleluia” by Manuel, “Viva La Musica” by Brunner, “Riddle Song” and the uplifting “Sing A Sing Of Sixpence” by Rutter.
The concert is free and open to the public. A free will offering will be accepted.
Coventry Singers is a community choral organization of auditioned singers who perform diverse and challenging choral music. Over its 50-year history, the group has performed both major and lighter choral works, both secular and sacred and always with great joy and doses of frivolity.
The number of performers range from 30-40 and include people from all walks of life. Some have professional musical experience, some are and have been teachers of music, but many are people who just love to sing and welcome musical challenges.
Director Cheryl Markofski will again lead the Coventry Singers as musical director. She is a graduate of Florida State University with a master’s of music degree, and has done graduate work in voice performance at the University of Texas. Markofski taught music at Owen J. Roberts Middle School, and she is also a noted soloist and voice coach.
Accompanist Eleanor Lundy will once again perform with Coventry Singers. She has taught piano and served as musical director and substitute musician at several churches in New England and Montgomery County. She is a graduate of Rosemont College.
