Thank you Ms. Nordstrand for coming to our concert and taking our picture right before our world premiere of “The Maple Key”  

We’ll see you all this Thursday, March 12 as we preview some new repertoire.

We will also be looking at rehearsing our final number with all our District Groups before the big concert.  It will be on a Tuesday in April.  I will confirm the exact date after our meeting on April 1.  

Our lovely majestic purple t-shirts will be ready for the April 24 Tour Date and the April 29 concert.  Just to be clear, these shirts are part of your registration fee money.  In other words, you’ve paid!

See you Thursday with the secret phrase, “CoroVoce and Coastal Sound were amazing on Saturday!”

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.
