Shiretown Singers announce Summer Sing

DOVER-FOXCROFT — The Shiretown Singers are thrilled to announce their Summer Sing, a series of public singing sessions held on Wednesdays throughout July and August. These gatherings will occur at the Thompson Free Library Pavilion, beginning July 9 from 6-7:30 p.m.

This summer event is an open invitation to everyone, regardless of musical experience or ability. No prior note-reading skills are required, as Artistic Director Allison Aldrich Smith will teach all the songs during each session. Song sheets will also be provided. 

The Shiretown Singers, a community choir established in October, held their debut concert in May, which was warmly received by an enthusiastic audience. Inspired by the joy shared during their performances, the choir now invites the community to sing together simply for the love of it without the pressure of preparing for a concert. 

Each week will feature a theme, ranging from folk songs, rounds, popular songs of the 60s and more. There will also be a chance each session to request songs from previous weeks. Whether you come to every session or drop in occasionally, you are welcome to sing along — or simply listen if you prefer. 

Suggested donation $10 per session. Under 18 free of charge, no one turned away for lack of funds. 

For more information contact shiretownsingers@gmail.com or 207-598-6398. Come and join the Shiretown Singers this summer to celebrate the joy of music and community. Whether you’re an experienced vocalist or someone who just loves to hum along, these sessions promise an uplifting and inclusive experience for all!
