Mason area singers are invited to join voices with other vocalists in the Bluebonnet Choral Festival to be held in Mason April 11-16. The choral festival is a chance for singers to renew basic vocal pedagogy skills and to sing music of the masters like Gabriel Faure and fun gospel and American spirituals. 

Choral conductor Dr. Jerry Ann Alt, New Mexico State University professor emeritus, will lead the choir. During Alt’s 26 years as NMSU’s director of choirs, her choirs performed around the world and across the United States. In 2001, Dr. Alt established the Choral Association of Southern New Mexico, a non-profit corporation that supports choral music in Southern New Mexico.  

The festival includes evening rehearsals Monday through Thursday, April 11-14, at Mason’s First United Methodist Church, and two performances. The first performance will be at 7 p.m. Friday, April 15, in the church sanctuary. The second performance will be at 2 p.m. in Mason›s historic Odeon Theater.
