ONE-OF-A-KIND CAR
DONATION PROGRAM
Community Auto, a nonprofit program
of The Lighthouse Foundation, accepts
donated cars, repairs and inspects
them when feasible, and sells them at
discounted prices to low-income working
families and individuals. The used car in
your garage that you don’t have time to
sell, or didn’t get the trade-in value you
wanted, or a car the kids used but no
longer need would be the perfect car to
donate. Your generous donation is tax-
deductible.
Please contact Community Auto
at communityautolico.org or call
724.538.5081 for details on how to
donate your car.
Junior Mendelssohn
Choir of Pittsburgh
Presents ‘Dreams
and Dances’
On Sunday, Nov. 18, the Junior
Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh
( JMCP) will present its fall concert—
“Dreams and Dances”—at Third
Presbyterian Church. The nearly 50
young singers of the choir will be joined
by guest musicians the Kassia Ensemble
as they present a program of dreamlike
choral music featuring Antonio Vivaldi’s
“Beatus Vir” RV 598, Gwyneth Walker’s
“Dreams and Dances,” and music
by Abbie Betinis, Thomas Morley,
Rosephayne Powell and Sarah Quartel.
The Junior Mendelssohn Choir of
Pittsburgh is the only program of its kind
in the region and one of the country’s
few vocal training programs for youth
managed by a symphonic choir. Founded
in 1986 to serve singers too old to
perform with children’s choirs and too
young to perform with adult choruses,
JMCP enables talented students in grades
9 through 12 to train with accomplished
professional singers and music educators.
Scholarships ensure that no student is
denied acceptance for financial reasons.
“These young singers are exceptionally
engaged and motivated,” says Caron
Daley, Music Director of the JMCP.
“They’re game to tackle any challenge,
and their enthusiasm and skill make for
exciting concerts. We are very proud to
share their work with the community.”
Many former JMCP members have gone
on to make careers in music, and many
now sing as adults in the Mendelssohn
Choir of Pittsburgh (MCP), one of the
most celebrated choirs in the country.
The JMCP has performed with the
Pittsburgh Symphony, the Pittsburgh
Youth Symphony Orchestra, the Plum
Creek Chamber Orchestra and the MCP.
This season’s group consists of 40 singers
representing 27 schools. In addition to its
fall concert, the JMCP will be performing
with the MCP in “Let My People Go: A
Spiritual Journey Along the Underground
Railroad” on Feb. 15, 2019.
