Dear Singers,
Last week we made great strides on The Dawn is Not Distant, Song to the Moon, and Mēnestinis Naki Brauca. Please continue to review these pieces so we do not lose ground. This rehearsal will focus on Moon Goddess, Two Eastern Pictures, and I Got the Sun in the Morning, so if you have limited time to look over your music before rehearsal, focus on these 3 pieces in preparation for rehearsal tomorrow night.
- Rehearsal for the First Fridays at the Orange County Arts Commission in Hillsborough at Eno Arts Mill on December 2nd. Rehearsals will be 11/14, 11/21, and 11/28 after our regular rehearsal (from 9:30-10).
- Concert Tickets. Membership Liaisons will distribute tickets at rehearsal. Please note that ticket prices have increased this year to:
Adult Tickets: $20 each Student Tickets: $10 each
Allison Mangin (S2) is our Ticket Manager and can answer questions you have about ticket sales.
