Message from the Music Director

Dear Chorale,

We are nearing the end of our Dvorak journey, and it has been a very enjoyable one. Last night’s orchestra rehearsal in Farmington was invigorating and makes me very excited for this weekend! Thank you for accommodating new/additional requests by Maestro Colby. Be prepared for that again at the Friday dress rehearsal. To that end, you must have a pencil with you to make such markings in your score. Reminder: there are no chairs for dress rehearsal or concert. We will only be coming on for the Dvorak. As I mentioned last night, I do have some notes for you (as well as some from the VSLs). They are attached as a separate document.

Hartford Chorale on Parade! Thank you to all have reached out. Next Monday’s conclave will be a fun evening!! If you are performing, I must have your program info (name, title, composer) by tomorrow. Please email it to MusicDirector@HartfordChorale.org Also, it is your responsibility to work out rehearsals time with Jim (or bring your own accompanist).
