I’m still relishing in the success of your wonderful performance last Sunday! Thank you to everyone who made the first concert of our 25th season so memorable.

I am extremely excited about the next cycle, as we move from new and unfamiliar music to acknowledged favorites. Marge, Rachel, and Deb are our soloists for Canticle. Bill Owens, from the West Point Band, is our cornet soloist. Emily Threinen will be coming up from Temple University to be our guest conductor for Chester. And I know the membership is excited to play Lincolnshire Posy. You can see the entire program here. You can also examinethe instrumentation here — click on the Winter Instrumentation tab at the bottom.

We will read through everything on the program on Monday. The rehearsal order is listed here. Nancy will distribute folders with all the new music in it. Trumpet, horn, and percussion parts will be distributed by the respective principals.

Thanks again for last Sunday, and get ready for Monday!
