Spring 2024 is upon us!
Time to sing! I look forward to seeing everyone this first week of our new semester.
Auditions are open for all voices, by appointment. Please encourage choir-minded friends to go/choralauditions, and to contact me! Call back (ensemble) auditions begin this week.
Wednesday rehearsal is 4:30-5:30 PM only.

Sleigh Ride: Cameron Carpenter, organ
If you might enjoy a little musical winter cheer (and if perhaps you’re unfamiliar with the multi-sonic wonders of the theater organ), enjoy Leroy Anderson’s Sleigh Ride as interpreted by organist Cameron Carpenter!
Go Tell It!
Opening & closing choruses from today, just to hear the “divided” seating sound. The microphones were closer than the audience will be, so in fact there is more separation here than in the room.
Rehearsal 10-30-23
Here are a few bits from today’s rehearsal.
These are “works in progress.”
- Ensemble – we lose pulse and cohesion between sections of the choir.
- “Big” notes are not always prepared: not enough support, not thinking about it, perhaps unsure.
- Review texts! Takes JUST a few minutes, and that knowledge will make a great difference.
- Listen to the recordings, they offer a sense for how the pieces basically flow.
- Use part resources, on RESOURCES page! There is time to review those.
STANDING ORDER: I’m going to adjust more towards sections, I think this will make a difference in several ways.
See you Wednesday!
