Happy summertime everyone!



Lotsa news in here…

2. The board has completed its annual election of officers. Our officers
beginning on July 1 will be:



President: Stacy Hanna (previously VP)

Vice President: Ashley Holt (new officer; yup, soprano!)

Treasurer: Rachael Lubbers (returning)

Secretary: Debbie Carroll (returning)



After 4 years as president, Megan Brachtl has elected to not stand for a
leadership position this cycle. She will remain on the board. We want to
thank Megan for her dedication, wisdom, and hard work helping CSC get
through the multiple challenges of the last four years! We also want to
thank all of our officers for their past and future efforts.





3. This fall, Nathan will be heavily involved in starting a three-year
special project in choral music at NC State. Due to the significant time
requirements that will be needed in the formative stages, he requested and
the board approved a sabbatical from Concert Singers performances from
September to December. Nathan remains the Artistic Director, and will
continue to handle artistic planning, auditions, and other similar matters.
This gives CSC an opportunity to have two excellent guest conductors for
our concerts this fall.



Lindsey Bruner Woodcock is in her second year as the Director of Choral
Activities at Meredith College, and will conduct the fall concert. She
performed with the Chamber Choir last January.



Bill Adams is a singer, teacher, multi-instrumentalist, and director of
Heart of Carolina A Cappella. He was our featured soloist and Master of
Ceremonies for our Holiday Pops in 2018, and will join us again to direct
the concert in 2023.



Josh Johnstone will continue in his role as Assistant Conductor. We can all
look forward to fresh and exciting concerts this fall.
