Dickinson County Community Chorus's traditional, annual Holy Week Ecumenical Concert-Service, under the veteran direction of DCCC Conductor Crystal Hogan, vocal-music director of Breitung Township (Kingsford) Schools, and in conjunction with the Iron Mountain Area Clergy Association (IMACA), begins at 7:00 p.m. CDT on Tuesday, March 26, at Saints Mary and Joseph Catholic Church in Iron Mountain, Michigan. Again this spring, filled with talented musicians from throughout the area, the chorus is strong and sounds wonderful. Admission is free but the chorus and association will accept donations at an offertory during the event. Though it's a spacious old church, it always fills fast for this popular Easter-season event, so come a little early to insure you find a seat you like.

8:45 p.m. CST, 26 March 2013, Iron Mountain, Michigan: Congratulations and thank you to Crystal Hogan and the superb Dickinson County Community Chorus for a moving, powerful, accomplished, and just plain extraordinary Lenten-Easter concert tonight. Positively excellent. It seems entirely appropriate, Hollywood-style, as I sit inside the open door of my car typing this, that the full moon is appearing majestically from behind racing clouds, as if stirred miraculously by the music to appear and glow brightly, lighting the night. Also, long-time DCCC conductor John R. Calo, singing like a man half his age tonight, turns 80 years young today. Happy birthday, Maestro! . . . KingsfordMusic.org, CommunityChorus.org
