Registration for the chorus will begin at 6 p.m., and no audition is needed to join.

All singers age 16 and older — especially men — are invited as the group prepares for its spring concerts, slated for April 4-6.

The cost to sign up is $35.

The chorus and director Leslie Lewis will then hold rehearsals from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Sundays, including this one.
