About Northsong
Singing in the Kingdom since 1981
A chamber choir of about forty voices from Newport and the towns around Lake Memphremagog, singing sacred and secular music for our neighbors twice a year.
Northsong has been singing in the Northeast Kingdom since 1981. More than forty years on, it is a choir of neighbors who rehearse through the dark months and sing for the community when the music is ready.
Our singers come from Newport and the towns around it. Some have sung all their lives and some came to it later. What we share is the weekly rehearsal, and the moment in a concert when forty voices land on the same chord.
The programs reach from Bach and Vivaldi to living composers, from Latin masses to folk songs, and every concert is open to everyone, with a small suggested donation at the door.
