This is so true!

It brings us great joy.

Our guest soloists will perform Carmina Burana with the Symphony Chorus at Carmen & Carmina THIS FRIDAY!

Ian Rucker is a baritone from Oshkosh, WI. He graduated with his Masters’s Degree in Vocal Performance from Indiana University’s Jacobs School of Music where he was an avid performer. It was at his undergrad at the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire, that he found his love for the spotlight, performing roles in both Opera and Musical Theatre productions.

All three soloists, plus David Taylor, will be included in Maestro's pre-concert discussion, free to all ticket holders, beginning at 6:15 in the auditorium. They will also be ready to meet everyone at Cookies with Kirk after the concert.

We’ve been told that we are sold out at the Taft Street church for Thursday and Friday. Even so, we have someone who has family coming in that is willing to pay for a ticket that cannot be used. Please contact Joan or Mary if you have one. 

This small note is to let everyone know that both Mary Henrich’s and Linnetta Taylor‘s emails have been compromised. Please do not reply to any “invitation“ since that seems to be part of the hack. Be careful out there! 

Hehehe

Yes, it is! Come on out to audition, or if you know a good singer, please share the audition information!

Singing is good for you. Singing with others may be even better. Studies have linked singing in a choir to reducing stress hormones, increasing immune-boosting cytokines and stimulating memory for people with dementia.

We will soon be able to sing together again, so this is a reminder of why we love it so!
