Open Rehearsal September 1: Come sing with us on Tuesday, September 1 to try Encore Chorale for free with an open rehearsal! The Northeast Iowa School of Music (NISOM) is pleased to announce the 2nd season of the Dubuque Encore Chorale.

Open to adults age 55 and older, the Chorale rehearses weekly in the Grand Oaks Room at Oak Park Place in Dubuque from 1:00-2:00PM every Tuesday, beginning September 1, 2015. Anyone who enjoys singing and making new friends is welcome to join this non-auditioned group.

Encore Chorale will present several informal performances throughout the season, performing songs you know and love. NISOM's Encore Chorale was established in 2014 and is a member of the national organization Encore Creativity for Older Adults. Encore is dedicated to providing an excellent and accessible artistic environment for older adults, regardless of experience or ability, who seek arts education and performance opportunities under a professional artist. Directed by Sue Flogel, a board-certified music therapist and retired music teacher.

The Chorale is open to new singers and experienced vocalists alike.
