January 16, 2012 Dear Master Singers, Happy New Year to you all! I am still marveling at our incredible Messiah performances in November. Your singing was so filled with life. To stand so close to such superb soloists with such an outstanding orchestra was an amazing experience. Thank you for your unwavering dedication, deep commitment, and boundless caring which creates beautiful music, with a sound that touches the soul… Our Spring Concert is at the Bedford Presbyterian Church on April 22, 2012. We are changing to one performance only, on Sunday at 4 p.m. Dress rehearsal with the orchestra will be during the day, Saturday, April 21, so please reserve the day from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Our program includes Haydn’s Nelson Mass and Mozart's Vesperae de Dominica KV 321. With Leslie Fagan joining us again and other amazing performers, the music will spring to life with powerful beauty. We last sang this brilliant Haydn Mass in 2001 and Mozart’s exquisite setting of psalms in 1991! Rehearsals begin this coming Monday, January 23, at the Fox Lane Middle School Little Theatre on the Fox Lane Campus, Rt. 172 in Bedford. Registration for singers will begin at 7:30 p.m. Rehearsal will run from 8-10 p.m. along with sectionals scheduled during the week. In the event of inclement weather, we will use email to notify everyone should there be a need to cancel or reschedule rehearsal. Dues are $175 for the spring season, plus the cost of music and study CD. As always, full or partial scholarships are available by speaking to me privately. If you have a scheduling conflict, please let me know so we can find a solution, and continue singing together! Please come and sing! Invite your friends to join us. With Mike Chace’s passing on December 28, I am more aware than ever how special our musical family is. Your singing brings precious moments filled with beauty, peace, and love. What a blessing you are! Love, Les Hadsell P.S. **Please bring your black ring binder. If you sang these works years ago, the Mozart is a Breitkopf & Härtel small Chorpartitur, the Haydn a small gray G. Schirmer edition saying “Third Mass.” You might also have a score saying Mass in D Minor, or Nelson Mass. |
