Tomorrow evening is our first working rehearsal on the first half of the program: Bach, Ticheli, and Bernstein. See the rehearsal plan here. Please be sure that you have written in the asymmetrical meter notes for the Bernstein into your parts, to help facilitate that part of the rehearsal. Next week will be devoted completely to Carmina Burana (and maybe a little Bernstein, as needed).

Rachel Eckhaus pointed out that WQXR is having an musical instrument donation drive, to benefit the instrumental music programs of the New York City public schools. Click here for more information. It looks like a well-run, viable program, run in concert with Sam Ash, who will be donating a repair team to work on instruments which need it.

In case you’re interested, I’ve given up winter for Lent.

See you tomorrow evening.
