Music selections for the spring season include Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “Already Home,” songs from “The Wiz” and “Les Miserables,” and “I’m Going Home,” from the Sacred Harp old American folk tradition and featured in the movie Cold Mountain. Also among the titles are “Far From the Home I Love” from Fiddler on the Roof (Bock and Harnick), arranged by Brian Ramsey, and “The Road Home,” by Stephen Paulus. The program will also include a special performance by Hopewell Valley Chorus Scholarship recipient, Elisabeth Boyce-Jacino.

The Hopewell Valley Chorus is an amateur, unauditioned adult community chorus located in Pennington, New Jersey who perform two or three times a year locally, and participate in a variety of community outreach activities.
The Hopewell Valley Chorus was also one of last year’s Hopewell Harvest Fair grant recipients, receiving funds toward their March concert “Spring into Song,” a free annual concert with performances by vocal groups based in or with close ties to the Hopewell Valley including the Trenton Children’s Chorus (TCC) and the Hopewell Valley Central High School a cappella. Money raised at that concert enable the Hopewell Valley Chorus to send three TCC members to the Albemarle Summer Music Program and one to the Westminster Middle School Summer Vocal Camp.
