Message from the Music Director

Dear Chorale,

Another week, and another very productive rehearsal. I hope you are enjoying our deeper dive into the music we are preparing for the end of the month. We will continue to do that in the coming weeks, bringing each piece to a place it has not yet achieved.

I want to say a particular thank you to the Soprano section for following my instruction and lead on how to sing softly in your up range while still maintaining airflow. This is something you will need to continue to employ throughout all the music, so keep a lookout for the signal I give to you about using air and filtering through an open space in the back of your mouth.

TOUR

I am very excited about the progress we have made in putting together our UK 25 tour. Over the next number of months we will continue to recruit more singers to join us!

RE-AUDITIONS

As you may recall, last year we reinstated our policy of having re-auditions for current members. Prior to Covid, this is something that we did every year. The schedule is such that each person ends up doing a re-audition every four years. On the schedule for this year are Soprano 1 & Tenor 1. These 10-min auditions will take place in late June. I view these as a great opportunity to connect with current members both musically and in dialogue. Please keep an eye out for sign-ups on the website. Once that is posted you will also find information there about what you need to prepare. If anyone has any questions or concerns about this, please don’t hesitate to talk to me during break at rehearsal.
