This is the 14th season for the Huntsville choir, while the Bracebridge choir is marking its 4th season.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first time you hear all these voices belting out an amazing song in four-part harmony, it gives you chills,\u201d says musician Sean Cotton, one of several professionals who supply the musical accompaniment to the choir. \u201cThere\u2019s nothing else quite like it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The choir has become known for its diverse musical selection, and this season is no exception.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got Prince, U2, the Beatles, Blue Rodeo and more,\u201d says musical director Ian Crowley. The choir also stretches the definition of rock, mixing in some country, hip-hop, and other genres as well.<\/p>\n<p>Guest soloist Jesse Cotton \u2013 Sean\u2019s son \u2013 will be rapping and singing on several numbers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJesse is a great performer \u2013 his band Overplay\u2019s first single recently went to number three on Hunters Bay Radio, and we\u2019re really looking forward to showcasing this young talent,\u201d says Crowley.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets for the shows are available through the Rene M. Caisse theatre in Bracebridge, or the Algonquin Theatre in Huntsville.<\/p>\n<p>After these shows, the choir takes a break for the summer then resumes weekly rehearsals in September, preparing for their next show in December.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe welcome all levels of singers,\u201d says Crowley. \u201cSome of our members are former professionals or semi-pros, while others are singing parts for the first time in their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All of them share in the benefits of group singing, which studies have found boosts feelings of euphoria and reduces stress and anxiety, Crowley notes. \u201cNo matter what your experience level, you\u2019re welcome to come out and experience the joy of singing in a choir.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
