Rehearsal at TMH

We rehearse at TMH this coming Monday, May 1. We need to pull the piano out when we set up, placing it stage right, keyboard facing downstage.

On Monday, May 8, we rehearse at White Plains HS again (with the soloists) and then we’re back at TMH on May 10 for the dress rehearsal, and concert on May 13.

Art Auction

Artist Tom Furano attended our November concert and sketched his impressions in the hours following the performance. He was truly inspired by our concert, and has developed that sketch into a beautiful painting. The swirls of color reflect the energy of sound in a most engaging way. Tom has donated his work for auction. In the final week leading up the May 13 concert, we will be holding a Silent Auction for this painting. 50% of the proceeds will go to WSW and 50% will go to the artist. Watch your email for details, which will include a photo of the painting and the website to share with friends and family for placing bids.

And don’t worry — we’re still having a 50/50 raffle on May 13!

Music stands still needed for antiphonal brass

So far, we only have commitments for 10 of the 22 music stands we need to set up for the Kalinnikov antiphonal brass. If you are a band director and could loan 5 or 6 stands for the dress and concert, please give your name to Katherine Filatov. Plan to label the stands on the music side (so the labels are not seen by the audience), bring them at 7:00 pm on May 10, and take them with you after the concert on May 13.
