I hope everyone is having a wonderful and safe spring break!

It’s been very busy here while you have been away finishing the Lenten offerings and preparing for Holy Week!

Safe Traveling home!

Remember the week of 29 March through April 5th only senior chorister rehearsals in the morning. The regular choir schedule will resume the week of April 12th.

If you can, please sit with your Chorister(s) and goggle: YouTube – King’s College Choir and watch – listen to two or three minutes of the choir singing. It is a wonderful way to show the choristers their colleagues at work and for them to see and hear another group in the tradition of our program. The abstract comes to life when you can experience someone else practicing what you do.

The Annual Concert Committee is hard at work preparing for the beautiful reception that follows that concert on 24 April. That has traditionally been one of our three big fund raising events for the Choir Special Projects Fund.
In additional to aiding the cost of Concert Tours in the summer this fund helps support many of our special opportunities that are beyond the annual operating budget.
The growth of the fund impacts everyone’s choir experience!
