Whether you can sing like Luciano Pavarotti or Frankie Valli, the Carroll County Chorale needs tenors, says newly hired director George Cazan.
Cazan, of Carrollton, has been a member of the Chorale for the past two years and was the only male tenor voice in the group. He is also the director of St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church Choir in Massillon where he has also faced the problem of having just a few tenor and bass voices.
Cazan is a retired teacher and principal from the Canton City Schools and was a supervisor in the Outreach Department of the Stark County District Library.
He has degrees from Ohio University and Kent State and has done graduate studies at the Universities of Akron, Kent State, and Ohio State.
Cazan has performed with the Canton Civic Opera, the Canton Players Guild and various local churches and orchestras.
He stated, “I feel the Carroll County Chorale has a wealth of talent and I am looking forward to making it a respected music performance organization, while having lots of fun as well.”
Chorale practices are held at the First Presbyterian Church on N. Lisbon St. in Carrollton on Tuesday evenings at 7 p.m. Singers 19 years and older are welcomed to show up and join the rehearsal. Call George at 330-627-2448 for more information.
The next performance of the Chorale is a cabaret in early May at St. Francis Hall in Malvern with date and ticket prices to be determined.
The chorale will perform at the Gospel Fest at Bluebird Amphitheater which is scheduled for July 11. |
