Hello all!


Note that we do not have reh Mon Jan 21 (MLK Day), our next gathering is Jan 28.



We’ll be placing our biannual group order with Formal Fashions soon.

bowtie, etc, let me know asap and save on S/H!

A periodic thank you to our chief Chair Setter-Uppers Sue Schule, Joan
Eastwick, Al Pasquale, and Phil Ferski – please consider coming early
occasionally and lending a Hand to Shirley, who also is there every
week!!



Please help us market the Feb Bach show to places of worship! Ask
their staff if they will put up a poster and/or mention us in the
bulletin. You can also grab a few programs and postcards from the reh
table to disseminate. From Nathan: “Some of this music is well known
to the traditional church goer. The 4th movement is often played in an
organ arrangement that many will recognize.

Nathan gave an update on the NYC trip, it is now scheduled for May 23 2020,
Mem Day wknd. There’s an Oct 2019 registration deadline. We need a minimum
of 125 to go (can include non-singers), and we’ll likely recruit guest
singers from other choirs. Plan is to sing Mozart's "Vesperae solennes de
confessore" (KV 339) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7QbViCuGfU and
attached is the promo poster Nathan mentioned - don't post or disseminate,
for now just for fun (internal)!

words to this song’”


-       “Tenors give me your ‘wretched refuse’ – I have never asked that of
the tenors before”
