CONCERT #1 – Wallingford Symphony

Dear Hartford Chorale,

We have received word from Wallingford of three important schedule changes to our Beethoven concert. Please see below.

  1. The concert at Choate Rosemary Hall on 10/27 has been cancelled. We will only be performing the concert at Clinton on 10/20.
  1. The dress rehearsal date has been moved up to Friday, 10/18 starting at 7 pm (originally Saturday 10/19) at Clinton.
  1. The concert is at 4 pm on Sunday (not 3).

Re dress rehearsal – if you have a commitment that you absolutely cannot change, please inform Jack at musicdirector@hartfordchorale.org. Otherwise, we really appreciate your flexibility in attending the dress rehearsal regardless of the last minute change. This concert has been an aspiration for three years at Wallingford, having been postponed for some reason or the other. We are finally in a position to make it happen for Wallingford with the excellence that can only be the Hartford Chorale!

Membership Committee Message:

Hartford Chorale is currently setting up a new choir management system using an online platform specifically designed for choirs called “Choir Genius”.  We are currently setting up our system and adding all members. When a member is added to the system, an email is generated and sent from “Hartford Chorale-Choir Genius”, inviting the member to log-in and change the password. Right now, members don’t need to take any action; simply save this email for future reference.

When we do go live with Choir Genius in September, we will ask members to log in using the link in the email, change the password and complete the member personal profile.

This is very exciting since many manual processes performed by members, volunteers and staff will now be automated in Choir Genius, freeing up time for everyone in the choir to focus on music!
