The Chorus welcomes voices (with or without musical background) from South Windsor and the surrounding towns. This organization originally began in 1971 as Friends of Music. Bobbie Reeves (Director) and Karen Krinjak (Accompanist) volunteered their services to help raise money for band uniforms for the South Windsor High School. Today, membership ranges from 40 to 50 singers from towns throughout the region. The Chorus performs two major concerts a season, winter and spring, as well as shorter programs throughout the community. Our repertoire consists of light classical, popular show tunes, and traditional numbers. The group is sponsored in part by the Recreation Department of the Town of South Windsor, through the generosity of companies and organizations in the community, as well as by members of the chorus themselves. In June of each year, a $250 scholarship is awarded to a deserving graduate of the Senior Class of South Windsor High School courtesy of the South Windsor Community Chorus.

We would like to recognize and thank the following individuals who have contributed extra time supporting the chorus Denise Archibald Art Querido Lehman A Mann Sr. Janice McGinley Art Dunham Marjorie Hutensky Dominic and Matthew Nanci S.W.H.S. Stage, Lighting, Sound and Video Crews The South Windsor Recreation Department Program Notes MLK MLK is a song that was orginally written and performed by the rock group U2. It was redone by the group the King's Singers who are well known for their beautiful acappella renditions of all kinds of pieces. MLK stands for the important historical figure Martin Luther King, Jr. and the piece stands almost as a prayer that his work was not in vain. Betelehemu Betelehemu is a Nigerian Christmas Song. The translation is: We are glad that we have a Father to trust. We are glad that we have a Father to rely upon. Where was Jesus born? Where was He born? Bethelehem, the city of wonder. That is where the Father was born for sure. Praise, praise, praise be to Him. We thank Thee, we thank Thee, we thank Thee for this day, Gracious Father. Praise, praise, praise be to Thee, Merciful Father.
