Remember that we gather again next Monday, November 13 at TMH with a delayed start, as we’ve had in the past at this time of year. We’ve listed it as an 8:00 pm start, but it’s likely that we can simply start to enter and set up at 7:30 pm when the Random Farms children’s theater is done, and then get going as soon as we’re all set up. My plan for that evening is to debrief the performance, and then spend considerable time talking about Music for Prague 1968, including Karel Husa himself, the motives and themes of the piece, our rehearsal strategy, and (very importantly) your own inspiring performance stories with other ensembles. We will be playing sections of the piece (just not the whole work straight through), so anticipate bringing all instruments/equipment needed for the Husa to this rehearsal. Then, the following week, on November 20, we’ll hit the ground running with a read-through of the entire Winter program, as we usually do at the first rehearsal. I am confident that taking the time to share and learn about Prague will pay off in spades in the long run.

Thank you again for a note-worthy (pun intended) performance yesterday! I am so proud to be associated with you all!
