Agenda for 1/30

Last night was an excellent reading session. I can't believe that we made it thorough everything (minus a few measures)! This is challenging music, and you might even be turned off at first. But I encourage you to stick with us, as this music has great, great rewards.

Please, please, please talk up the chorus to your friends and see if we can build the membership this semester. I've contacted the missing singers from the fall, but, if you see them, please encourage them to join. For our community members, please also see if you can bring in someone from off-campus.

As a reminder, all of the music (audio and video) is posted here to the right ====>>>>

Rehearsals begin on Tuesday, January 24 at 7pm in Heineman!

Bravo!

Congratulations on a stupendous concert last night! I don't recall having that strong of a response for our previous concerts. Oddly, this was the smallest audience I can recall--but they made up for it in enthusiasm.


The map for next Tuesday is linked to the right ====>>>


Please be prompt and in the concert space at 6pm. That said, plan accordingly for extra time, and arrive early enough at the library to find out where you need to go. And, finally, be sure you know with whom you are travelling.


See you Tuesday!

Concerts!

I was so tired at the end of last night's rehearsal, that I forgot a number of things!:

• You sound really great. I can't wait till spring's preparation of the Fauré Requiem. To get a head-start on how this wonderful music sounds, click here.
• As a reminder, Tuesday's concert starts at 8pm. Please be prompt and ready to sing at 7pm, when we will start/stop all items on the program, beginning with All Good Gifts.
• If your music isn't already in order, make sure it is before Tuesday. Click here for the program order.
• Dress for Tuesday is ALL BLACK.
• Since the concert starts at 8pm following the 7pm rehearsal, please ask your guests to arrive as close to 8pm as possible. Ideally, I won't allow people into the hall till we're done with our rehearsal.
• Finally, special thanks to Crosby and Mark for joining us last night!
• Oops: one more item. Rebecca Smith (and everyone else), make sure you have a ride to the library concert. Please fill out the form, linked to the right.
