Thursday Thoughts

Dear Friends,

Thank you for many inspired moments on Tuesday.  The level of the choir's musicianship was significantly improved and many of you had worked on your scores.  The result was we were making music even on the new material we were reading for the first time. 

Things to remember:

- Saturday morning meet at Dal Arts Centre, Room 409 by 8:50 am to find your place, get settled and meet the clinician and masterclass participants. We begin at 9 am sharp.  Wear your new choir t shirts. Those of you who do not yet have them, meet Christina and change in the washroom.  We are finished the masterclass by noon.

- Saturday afternoon, if you are free, you are invited to join us for clinics, the SSA masterclasses but most importantly SING OUT! event where participants will gather at 4:30 PM to share choral music with the general public on the lawn of the Spring Garden Road Public Library. Passersby and choral friends will be encouraged to join in with song sheets provided.  Please encourage anyone you know to attend this last part of our day!  Share in the Culture Days experience and encourage more people to lift their voices together. We want hundreds of people there as we want to show the public and our decisin makers what our art form means to us!

For Tuesday's rehearsal:

Requiem et Lux - Togni
Many Winters - Enns
Kyrie - Nickel
Song for Athene - Tavener
RVW - IV & VI

Soprano auditions for the solo at the end of the RVW movement VI will take place this Tuesday and next from 6:30 to 7pm and during the break. Please email me if you are interested and we will set up a time.

Best wishes to Tristan as he takes on the SNSC on Saturday morning in their rehearsal of Mozart Requiem. I'll see the rest of you at the Dal Arts Centre.
