ADRIAN — The Lenawee Community Chorus will present its spring concert, “Songs of the British Isles,” at 4 p.m. Sunday, April 6 at First United Methodist Church, 1245 W. Maple Ave., Adrian. 

Tickets are $15 for adults, free for children and students, and are available online at lenaweechorus.org or at the box office when doors open at 2:30pm. 

The concert’s title, “Songs of the British Isles” might immediately bring to mind traditional folk songs  from England, Ireland, or Scotland. The program includes some of these,  but also some surprises. Artistic director and conductor Brad Pierson made selections based on his passion for the music of that region, and has included several songs he’s arranged himself. 

“From ‘Danny Boy’ to ‘Hey Jude,’ and from Robert Burns to Monty Python, our concert aims to capture the essence of the British Isles in song,” Pierson said. “So many beautiful melodies come from this area and we are so excited to share them with you.” 

The concert is sponsored by TLC Community Credit Union and Rima Manufacturing. 

Founded in 1967, the Lenawee Community Chorus is Michigan’s oldest continually operating ensemble of its type — a no-audition group comprised of local people of all musical abilities who love to come together and make music. New members are welcome. Rehearsals are held on Wednesdays from 7 to 9 p.m., September through April, at First United Methodist Church.
