Dear Corovoce Members:

 

We had a magical rehearsal yesterday and our repertoire is starting to come together.  We would like to extend our next three rehearsals until 5:15 if possible in order to be ready for our concert.  If you can stay, great, if not, please slip out quietly when you need to!

Tickets will be available for purchase next week, November 21.  They will also be available to pay for online.  Please let your child know how many tickets were purchased so we can send them the “hard” copy of the ticket.

We need 2 sets of parents to take tickets at the door.  The first 2 parents who email me get to save their seats in the theatre.

We are looking forward to our concert, “Together Again” and can’t wait to show you our songs!

In song,

“The music is not in the notes, but in the silence between.” – Mozart

November 4, 2022.

I hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween!  I also hope you have been working on our repertoire these past 2 weeks, particularly memorizing The Holly and the Ivy and Hot Chocolate!  We are pressing on this next Monday with the rest of our songs.  Please refer back to the first post of the year to listen to all our songs.  It really helps you learn your parts so we can work on expression and dynamics in rehearsal!

SAVE THE DATES!

Tuesday, December 6 – Rehearsal with Piccollini at Kitchener School in the small gym.   Be there at 3:30.  We will warm up and rehearse with Piccollini and if there’s extra time, continue to work on our songs.  We will end by 4:45.

Monday, December 12 – Our big concert at Michael J Fox Theatre with Piccollini and Soundwave!  You need to be at the theatre in your black and white at 3:30.  Further details to come!

Tuesday, December 13 – We have been asked to sing at the Burnaby School Board Meeting that evening.  Again, further details to come around time and place, but save the date!

 

Looking forward to seeing you all on Monday, November 7.

Dear Corovoce Members:

Please email me at:

teresa.jukich@burnabyschools.ca

to save your spot for next year!

Rehearsals will be Mondays in the gym at South Slope from 3:30 to 4:45.

June 24, 2022.

It hardly seems possible that two years have passed since we made beautiful music together!  Everyone on the Corovoce Team has missed  all of you wonderful students.  And…the time has come to look towards September and new beginnings.  This all starts with you, our former members.  If you are interested in coming back to Corovoce in September here is some information you need to know.

1.  Rehearsals will be held in the gym at South Slope for better ventilation and spacing.
2. Rehearsals will be on MONDAYS this year.
3. Rehearsals will be shorter with no formal break from 3:30 to 4:45.

We would love to see you all after two long years!  We have missed you so!  Ms. Ishii, Ms. Little and I are still teaching.  Ms. Fletcher is retiring in June and we hope will be a guest conductor from time to time!

If you would like to rejoin us in September, please send me an email at:

teresa.jukich@burnabyschools.ca

Please reply by Wednesday, June 29 as we will be holding auditions to fill in the numbers and we need to hold your spot.

If you are attending secondary school, we hope your schedule will allow you to join us again.  Remember, Corovoce is the Youth Choir and we accept students up to Grade 12!

We are so looking forward to hearing from you!  More information will be forthcoming in future posts.

Until then, have a wonderful, restful, musical summer of fun!

Regards,

Ms. Little, Ms. Ishii, Ms. Fletcher, Ms. Fierro

Dear Corovoce Choir:

It’s difficult to believe that we have been back in school for two and a half months.  The Team is missing you terribly and hope that you and your families and loved ones are safe.  We were talking just the other day about how we would be in the throes of our rehearsals for the Christmas Concert at MJF right now.  The anticipation of a concert, the excitement of performance, and the preparation that goes into it are missing for us at the moment.  We were hoping to have good news about possibly restarting in January, but with cases rising, we are not sure this can happen.  Please know that we will resume choir rehearsals as soon as it is safe for all of us.  Until then, please fill your happiness buckets up with song when and where you can!

In song,

The Corovoce Team – Ms. Fletcher, Ms. Fierro, Ms. Ishii, Ms. Little
