Choral Society board has new faces

The general membership of the Vero Beach Choral Society voted four new faces onto the board during its annual meeting at Trinity Episcopal Church on April 15. The newcomers include Brady Johnson, organist and choirmaster at Christ Church; Barbara Taylor, music teacher and frequent Choral Society soloist; Rebecca Terranova, nurse educator and chorister; and Jane Wilson, retired music teacher and chorister.

At the first meeting of the governing board that same evening, election of officers was held. Returning board member Deborah Borfitz was named president, replacing retiring board member Loren Smith. Taylor was voted in as vice president, replacing still-active board member Joe Zielinski, and Terranova as secretary, replacing retiring board member Amy Cosner. Alan Northcott was retained in office as treasurer.

Choral Society Artistic Director Jason Hobratschk will serve on the board as the liaison with Trinity Episcopal Church, the group’s rehearsal and concert venue.

Choral Society rehearsals resume in early September, when auditions for prospective new members are held. The first concert of the 2013-14 season will be performed on December 13 and 15. Phone (772)494-5011 for more information.
