November 6 rehearsal canceled

Posted on by

This Monday, October 28

6:15 – Board Meeting (upstairs dressing room)
6:45 – Dashnaw Quintet rehearsal (pit in front of stage)
7:30 pm – Full rehearsal. Plan is posted.

Upcoming rehearsals

We still have not gotten a response from New Rochelle, but feel we can no longer keep you in the dark about the days we’re rehearsing during the concert week. So:

  • Wednesday, November 6 – no rehearsal! Canceled! 86’d! Not meeting!
  • Monday, November 4 – We’re still unsure of the site of this rehearsal.
    • If we are able to get confirmation from New Rochelle, we will rehearse there, 7:15-9:30 pm (to work within their custodians’ schedule). 
    • If we are unable to secure New Rochelle, we’ll stick with TMH, but because of the children’s theater performance, we cannot set up until they are done and we’re not guaranteed a start until 8:00 pm. In this case, we’ll meet outside the marquee at 7:30 pm, set up as soon as the children’s theater clears. We’ll start as soon as possible, but please be prepared to stay until 10:00 pm if necessary.

Kristen Mather de Andrade concert

Our friend Kirsten, who has soloed with us from the West Point Band, sent out this concert announcement for a program tomorrow evening (Sunday) in Croton. Bill Owens, West Point trumpet, who has also soloed with us (Carmen Fantasy, Norma Variations) is also performing. Please consider attending!

I am writing to ask if you would be kind enough to join me at the Croton Free Library on October 27th for a free concert previewing music from my upcoming Brazilian music album. I will be joined with some amazing musicians, and I am pretty sure that it is a style that you won’t often hear in the Hudson Valley. Additionally, there will be a pre-concert talk by Sergio Krakowski sponsored by the Croton Diversity and Inclusion Committee. 
 
I am totally self-funding this recording, and it has turned into a big project beyond my wildest dreams, so I would really love to share the story with you. Please click this link to visit my Kickstarter and watch a video that will give you the full scoop! Kristen’s Kickstarter
 
I would really love to see you and your friends on the 27th!
