Hello CoroVoce Members:

We had an amazing session with composer Laura Hawley yesterday at The Evergreen Cultural Centre!  We were so delighted to have her share insights into the three compositions that we will be performing on March 7 (see poster above)  The CoroVoce and Coastal Sound Teams learned so much by watching Laura and it was great to meet our fellow choiristers as well!  We are fortunate to be able to work one more time with Laura tomorrow, Saturday, January 25 at 10:00 a.m. at South Slope Elementary.  We will end at noon (12:00 p.m.)

We will see you all then!

Tickets for the show will be available beginning next Thursday during rehearsal.  As usual, please send money in an unsealed envelope with your name on the front.  Tickets are $10 per seat.

Hello CoroVoce:

The Team was so impressed with your musical stamina yesterday as we pushed through some very tricky material!  Hang in there, lighter songs are coming!

Again, this is just a reminder to let you know that the exact times for our rehearsal with Coastal Sound next Thursday, January 23 is 4:15 to 6:30 p.m.

The rehearsal at South Slope on Saturday, January 25 is the same, 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

We will be working with composer Laura Hawley during both sessions and we are really looking forward to showing her our work thus far!

Remember, we’ll see you next Thursday at the Evergreen Cultural Centre in Coquitlam.  And next Saturday at South Slope!

Dear Corovoce Members:

 

We had a very successful rehearsal yesterday and we’re making tremendous progress on all our pieces.  Please look over Earth Voices, Roots Before Branches, The Sun is Mine, and The Maple Key for next week.  These are the four pieces we will be working on intensely in order to be ready for the following week. (January 23)

On January 23, our rehearsal will take place at the Evengreen Cultural Centre at 1205 Pinetree Way in Coquitlam.  The rehearsal will run from 4:00 until 7:00 p.m.  The composer of 3 of our songs, Laura Hawley, is flying in from Edmonton to workshop her songs with us.  It is such a privilege to have her here.  Please arrange transportion, and possibly car-pooling in order to be there.  If you have to leave a bit earlier, we understand, but please make every effort to be there.

As well, we will be hosting a rehearsal with Laura Hawley on Saturday, January 25 at South Slope from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.  These are extremely important rehearsals and we hope you are able to come to both.

We were so lucky the snow didn’t hit us yesterday and we were able to have rehearsal.  Fingers crossed please, for next week as well!  See you Thursday, January 16 at South Slope!

The secret phrase is “Ms. Pritchard came to see us on Thursday.  We sang for her!”  (a long one, but Lansen wanted the challenge.  lol

Stay warm!
