Small children, with an accompanying adult, and students are invited to attend a portion of our dress rehearsals free of charge. We are especially encouraging parents with special needs children who have difficulty sitting through concerts to come and enjoy as much of the rehearsal as they'd like. By attending these events, you can introduce children to fine choral music, even if they struggle to sit still or to be completely silent. You may stay for as long or as brief a period as you wish.
Our next open dress rehearsal will be on February 24, 2017. We will be rehearsing SERENADE: English Choral Masterworks. The rehearsal will cover all repertoire on the regular concert, in order. The Artistic Director will discuss some of the repertoire as we rehearse, and a simple concert program will be provided.
Program:
Benjamin Britten – Hymn to Saint Cecilia
Frederick Delius – On Craig Ddu
Michael Tippett – Five Spirituals, from A Child of Our Time
William H. Harris – Faire is the heaven
William Walton – Where does the uttered music go?
Ralph Vaughan Williams – Serenade to Music
