Brattleboro Women's Chorus begins winter sessions

Wednesday, December 24, 2014 — Issue 286

BRATTLEBORO — The Brattleboro Women's Chorus offers a six-week winter session for women on Thursdays, Jan. 8 through Feb. 12, 2015, from 10 a.m. to noon in the Centre Congregational Church parlor.

Chorus leader Becky Graber will teach some favorites from the nearly 20 years of women's chorus repertoire.

This session is not leading up to a concert; it's just a time for singing together. Songs from BWC's eclectic, world folk music repertoire will be taught by ear with occasional word sheets to refer to.

Tuesday, September 6, 2022 — Issue 679

The information reported on a discussion by the Guilford Selectboard in a Brattleboro Reformer article [“'Threatening,' anonymous letter discussed by Guilford Select Board,” Aug. 10] is relatively one-sided with some context and details left out.
