Thursday Thoughts (just a little earlier!)

I wanted to thank you all again for such great work on the Faure Requiem concert. But more importantly thank you for your commitment to Camerata - for all the rehearsals and balancing your time with your work, family and friends. It has been such a busy season and I know you must be getting weary!

I have carefully gone through the blog calendar and made sure all the details are correct - especially rehearsal dates, times and venues. I have done that as of this morning and have found a couple of venues which needed to be corrected. So the blog calendar is correct. In the meantime I have outlined the schedules for both Celtic Mass and the Fundraiser below in a list form:

Celtic Mass Rehearsals: 
Saturday, April 2: 10 am -12:30 pm  (Bethany)
Tuesday, May 1: 7-9:30 pm (Bethany - note venue change)
Saturday, May 5: 10 am -12:30 pm (Bethany)
Tuesday, May 29: 7-9:30 pm (Bethany)
Saturday, June 2: 10 am -12:30 pm (FBC - note venue change)
Tuesday, June 5: 7-9:30 pm (FBC - note venue change)

Fundraiser Rehearsals:
Tuesdays, April 24, May 8, 15, 22 (all at FBC)

Please note that next Tuesday, May 1, we will meet with the selected SNSC singers at Bethany to rehearse the Celtic Mass. We have a great start on the fundraiser rep last night and I want to leave it with you to work on your own for two weeks before looking at it again.

The other thing to note is that it is my intention to take the final 30 minutes of each Tuesday Celtic Mass rehearsal, and work the fundraiser rep so bring all your scores.  Next Tuesday, May 1 we will spend 30 minutes on the Liebeslieder, so for those who struggled last night, please do some work on the score.

Finally to reiterate our chat together last night, Camerata really needs your help to sell out this fundraiser. I am committing to sell tables and I would ask that each of you take this challenge on. this will be a fabulous party complete with champagne, great food, fabulous desserts, wonderful silent auction items not to mention your great singing and the piano stylings of our own Cynthia Davies. Let's contact choir alumnae,  friends, family, our concert patrons...anyone we can think of, and make this a fabulous party. What a way to celebrate our 25th birthday!

See you all next Tuesday at Bethany.
