Rehearsals for our 11th  Holiday concert begins-

Monday OCTOBER 5 @ Whetstone HS>  7:30- 9pm 

Come early to get signed in and pick up music.

The Holiday Concert is

December 13 (Sunday) @ 4pm at Whetstone HS. 

Please note this is the 2nd Sunday. we usually have the concert on the 1st Sunday,

but there was a conflict for the use of the building that day.

As always we have room for more voices. Invite & bring along a new singer to the group!

Stay tuned for more details!

All,

Bravo tutti on a wonderful performance Sunday evening!  Our audience (great turnout BTW) loved it and I’m so proud of how you all came together to sing and make music in the always tricky humidity of early August.  It’s great fun to rehearse and make music with you all. 🙂

So what did I learn?  It might be ten years before I ever do Sicut Cervus again!  That was totally my fault on the cue, I think I looked at my music one moment too early before giving the sopranos their part and that’s what caused the problems, although I wonder how many people listening noticed what happened (obviously we did).  Simon Carrington at conference talked about how he never cues singers because he wants them to take ownership of their parts; that said he works with people from Yale and around the world, so ownership is important but the conductor needs to be in top form as well!

I believe (officers please confirm) our holiday concert date is Sunday, December 6th.  If that holds true our first rehearsal back will be Monday, September 28 at Whetstone.  We WOULD have a rehearsal the Monday prior to Thanksgiving.  

In case you’re curious about what the Chichester Psalms sound like, here’s a link for you.  We will sing the first movement of the three for the holiday concert, then the entire thing at the Clintonville Choral Festival on March 18.

Take care!  Enjoy the rest of your summer.

Yours,
Brandon

The Kroger Rewards program is a significant source of support for our choir. If you select the choir as the organization you want to support, Kroger will make a contribution to the choir based on your purchases. You retain all your credits, points, fuel perks, etc., but in addition, once a quarter Kroger will send a check to the choir based on the purchases made by everyone who selected the choir for their rewards.

The Kroger Rewards page on our choir web site (https://clintonvillecommunitychoir.org/support-the-choir/kroger-rewards/) explains how to select the choir.

Kroger resets your selection at the end of April each year, so please verify/update your selection if you haven’t done so in the last few months.

Thanks!
