Fall 2022

Hello, MCC Members!
First, I would like to thank everyone who came to the mock rehearsal on September 13th. Your presence and your feedback were instrumental in helping the search committee make a recommendation to the board.
On behalf of the Board of Trustees of Midcoast Community Chorus, I am pleased to announce the appointment of Jeffrey Maynard as our new artistic director and Joani Mitchell as Assistant Music Director.
After an almost 3-year hiatus, Mr. Maynard and Ms. Mitchell will join forces to start up rehearsal with the goal of presenting our first post-pandemic concert in Spring 2023.
Jeff studied at the Boston Conservatory of Music, graduating with a BA in Vocal Music. He also has a Master of Music in Vocal Performance and a Master of Arts in Teaching from UNC – Chapel Hill. His experience ranges from teaching high school to performing with the St. Louis Symphony, to leading the NYC Gay Men’s Chorus and the Gateway Men’s Chorus in St. Louis. Currently, Jeff is the Choral Music teacher at Camden-Rockport Middle School.

*MCC welcomes children age 13 and older as active choristers. Recognizing that the developmental needs of young people require guidance and support in order to assist them to succeed in a choral group, children age 15 or younger must be accompanied by a guardian or designated mentor at all times during rehearsals, sectionals and performances.

The parent/guardian of the youth must personally register their child and acknowledge/ agree to comply with MCC youth chorister policies. Youth 16 or older must be registered by their parent/guardian but are not required to have an assigned mentor for rehearsals.
