This Day in History: 1946-06-04
Forty prospective members attended the first meeting of the new Mahwah Choral Society at the home of the Director J. Van Broderode on Oweno Road. Mr. Van Broderode had had many years experience in directing large choral groups. He asked anyone interested in good music to join in on the weekly meetings. Edward Hopper of Ridgewood was the accompanist for the Society. Plans for a concert, possibly early in the fall, were not ready to be announced. (Bristow)
