The Gillette Chamber Music Society provided the following community events: October 2024 workshop with high schools students that allowed them to be mentored by our adult singers. This day of rehearsing included an evenig concert and was a cultural growing experience for all. In December we partnered with the local pastoral association for two evenings of Lessons & Carols services contributing to a holy week in our community. In the spring of 2025 we presented our Spring Concert with admission by donation. All of the community could attend for free and experience our choral work.
