Interested vocalists and potential members will be welcomed at these open rehearsals. Come to get a sense of how regular rehearsals are run as well as a sense of the group itself. AVM offers a choral experience in a community of welcoming, inclusive, respectful, collegial and talented vocalists who value high artistic standards.
Preparation will begin for the first concert—Celebrate Peace—with orchestra and soloists on Sunday, November 20, featuring Dona Nobis Pacem by Vaughan Williams, Dona Nobis Pacem by Pietris Vasks, and Dona Nobis Pacem by Keene Southard. Come early so that you can meet the Membership chair, Deb Wallace, and section leaders, and get music for rehearsal.
AVM believes individuals perform best when working together in a supportive, encouraging, and non-competitive environment.
The ASSABET VALLEY MASTERSINGERS chorus, directed by founder Dr. Robert P. Eaton, has gained a reputation for musical excellence and unusual programming.

Acton Community Chorus, Lisa Cooper, Director
Open Rehearsals – Winter Season (concert date January TBD)
Monday, September 12, 2022 7:30 pm
Monday, September 19, 2022 7:30 pm
Rehearsals are held at
Faith Evangelical Free Church
54 Hosmer Street
Acton, MA
Our friendly and fun group welcomes singers of all levels – no audition necessary. We meet Monday – in person and on zoom – and perform our next concert in January. It’s a wonderful way to get involved in the community and flex your creative muscles!
The Acton Community Chorus’ upcoming season, “Snow Angel,” will feature a piece with the same title by the young Canadian composer, Sarah Quartel, with solo cello and djembe. This emotional work brings about the themes of the concert – the army of angels watching over a child, the beauty of winter, and the love and fear expressed through lullabies. But you won’t be lulled to sleep, as percussion and cello weave through the concert, summoning the power of the “Angel Band” and the “Voces Lucis (Voices of Light)” through many different musical styles and languages. No audition is required to join!
