*Dear Singers,***

*** *

*I look forward to the resumption of Symphonic Choir rehearsals this Monday
as we move into a new arena of the "concert style" musical. For those who
are not familiar with concert versions of musicals, think "oratorio" verses
"opera" as a comparison. On Saturday, May 11, we will join the Raleigh
Symphony and conductor Jim Waddelow at Koka Booth for a performance of
Gershwin’s "Strike Up the Band." The performance originally premiered in
1927. **At the time, the show had political overtones from that period. The
story, which is a comedy, revolves around the United States declaring war
on Switzerland over a tariff.......... on cheese. For more historical
information see this link

This
is one you do not want to miss! *

*There will be community wide auditions for solo parts on Tuesday,
April 2ndat Meredith College. More details will be sent out about that
in a future
email.*

**

*See you on Monday!*

 *Save the date! The Concert Singers of Cary's Second Annual Luncheon*

Plans are underway for our second Annual Luncheon. We can no longer call it
the "End of the Season" luncheon since we will be singing two concerts
after the luncheon date. The date has been set for Sunday, May 19th from
1:30 - 4:00 at The Matthews House. Todate: we are planning a buffet with
cash bar (around $30/person - includes complimentary "Thank you" glass of
champagne from Larry), dress: dressy casual, adults only, entertainment
= socializing with fellow singers and their spouses/guests. More specific
details to follow. Those of you who came last year, please spread the word
about your experience; as far as I know, everyone really enjoyed themselves!
