Our rehearsal this week is another which cannot be accommodated at TMH, and so our rehearsal Monday will once again be held at Port Chester Middle School at our regular time, 7:30-9:45 pm. The link is also included on the Rehearsal This Week page along with the rehearsal order. Please follow the link for directions. We’ll aim to open the same door so you are able to enter straight from the parking lot.
I was so excited to hear the audible GASP in the audience last Sunday when I spoke about Carmina Burana in May. Leslie Mac Pherson, the choir director at Northern Valley-Demarest, announced the project last month at her fall Music Parents meeting, and got a great reaction. She is programming the work with her choir on her April concert, accompanied by our own Barbara Ciannella and Broadway music director, Amy Duran, and then joining us in May. Ars Musica, the adult community choir from Bergen County which is also joining us in May, is performing Carmina Burana on Saturday, November 23 at 8:00 pm at Westside Presbyterian Church in Ridgewood, NJ. Dusty Miller, music director, sent the following to me to offer discount tickets to our members for this performance. Follow the directions and use the discount code to purchase $25 tickets for only $16 + $1.55 service fee. I am planning on attending — I hope some of you might also consider attending, especially since these singers are giving their time to perform with us in May!
Dear friends at Westchester Symphonic Winds,
Upon my appointment as Music Director of Ars Musica, I began to investigate the arts scene in the area and was amazed to find such a rich musical community here in our corner of the tristate. One of my biggest hopes for Ars Musica is to form closer bonds and partnerships with the many wonderful ensembles and organizations in the neighborhood. In the hopes of initiating such a relationship, we are excited to offer a 20% discount to your members for our upcoming performance of Carmina Burana on Saturday, November 23, at West Side Presbyterian Church.
To purchase these discounted tickets, Westchester Symphonic Winds members can simply visit our event page at http://carminaburana.brownpapertickets.com, enter the Discount Code 4W35tch3sT3r5ympH0nicWinD5, and click “Show Available Tickets.” Once entered, they will have the option of purchasing specially discounted tickets ($16.00 for pre-sale, $20.00 for the day of the concert). We hope that such a discount will help promote greater interaction and friendship between our organizations.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any problems with the ticketing process or any questions at all. Thank you so much, and we hope to see you on November 23rd!
