Dress rehearsal and performance
We had a great rehearsal with the Double Reed Ensemble last night. We are all set for Saturday’s dress rehearsals and Sunday’s performance. Please check the home page for the schedule for both days. I’m asking everyone to arrive at TMH by 8:30 am on Saturday — both to help with the setup and because of arrival/parking on Saturday morning. On Sunday, we have access to TMH at 12:00 pm; please arrive at TMH by 12:30 pm on Sunday. The sound check on Sunday is rather complex because of all the moving parts, so I need to start at 1:00 pm on the dot, and I want to end at 2:00 pm promptly to allow everyone to rest. Please anticipate parking delays on both days and be proactive with your travel plans!
No rehearsal November 6; Winter cycle rehearsals begin on November 13
We will read all of the Winter Concert rep on Monday, November 13. Please download/print parts from the Winter Cycle folder. We’re over the hump of reading the Bernstein for the first time, so I’m hopeful and excited for this initial reading. Two library notes: 1) Puccini – Nessun Dorma will be posted as soon as it’s ready. 2) You only need m.1-68 of the Les Miz medley (we’re only performing the Bring Him Home portion).
Denise Ruchala Meltzer recital on November 9
ill present a trumpet recital next Thursday, November 9 at 6:30 pm at Larchmont Avenue Church in Larchmont at 6:30 p.m. Some current WSW members, as well as alumni, are also performing on the program. WSW tuba sub Nik Seger and former trombone member Mandy Rimm-Hewitt will join her for two works for brass quintet. This is a 45 minute, family-friendly concert. The program is half classical music and half pop music, with a female empowerment theme. Please consider joining Denise for this program!
