Easton Choral Arts Spring Concert - Dan Forrest's "Creation"

New Singers Invited to Join ECAS for 2025-26 Season

Easton, MD (July 10, 2025) Following a highly successful sold out season, Easton Choral Arts Society (ECAS), under the leadership of Artistic Director Alexis Ward and Assistant Director Amy Morgan, is excited to announce a change in performance venue beginning with the 2025-26 concert season. The new venue, St. Mark’s United Methodist Church, provides greater seating capacity, improved parking options and a more comfortable audience experience. This change in venue reflects ongoing efforts by Easton Choral Arts to expand and enhance musical offerings, as well as to welcome and engage all who share a love of singing and vocal performance.

Reverend Meredith West of St. Mark’s shares, “St. Mark’s is honored to welcome ECAS to our church home. We look forward to seeing our community members both at rehearsals and at their beautiful concerts.”

The added space provided by the new venue will allow ECAS to increase ongoing efforts to recruit new vocalists and create valued connections among singers of all ages and levels of musical experience. “With more space in the rehearsal room and on the risers, we are so excited to be able welcome even more members to our ECAS family” said Easton Choral Arts Board President Emily Moody. She highlights the unique opportunities provided by ECAS’ Choral Scholar Program, which offers eligible middle and high school students the opportunity to participate in weekly rehearsals and concerts, receiving high quality musical instruction and experience.

“We are thrilled to open our doors to new voices and faces,” says Alexis Ward, ECAS Artistic Director. “ECAS is more than just a group of singers; it's a community where individuals from all walks of life come together to create something beautiful.”

ECAS hosts two open rehearsals at the beginning of the season to give all interested singers the opportunity to experience the choir prior to committing to the season. All are welcome to attend, regardless of musical knowledge or experience. Open rehearsals for the fall season will be held on September 2 and September 9, 2025 from 7-9 PM at St. Mark’s United Methodist Church, 100 Peachblossom Avenue in Easton. Auditions are no longer required, and members do not need to know how to read music in order to join. Potential members will meet with the Artistic Director for a brief vocal placement session. Preregistration is requested to ensure sufficient music copies for all; interested participants can find information by visiting the “Join Us” tab at www.eastonchoralarts.com, or by visiting the Easton Choral Arts page on Facebook.
