In Honor of
Dr Harry Moon
Celebrate the life of Dr Harry Moon with a donation to CCSB.
The Community Chorus at South Berwick has lost a dear friend and leader. Dr. Harry Moon, our music director from 2000 to 2016, passed away on Monday, September 30, after a lengthy illness. We remember him with love, deep respect, and gratitude for the leadership he provided. Harry pushed, pulled, coaxed, and occasionally demanded that the chorus perform with musical excellence across eras and styles. Many of us found the chorus to be a haven of community and beauty during difficult times. We were proud to make music with him.
Harry’s family has received requests from friends asking where they could make donations in his memory. His wife Molly, son Jeff, and daughter Jennifer have generously asked that memorial donations be made to Community Chorus at South Berwick. The funds would be used as needed, to hire an orchestra, buy music, provide semester scholarships for chorus members, or for other miscellaneous needs of the CCSB.
