Dear Cleveland Hazamirniks,
Wow did we have a great time at intervisitational! I can’t wait to tell you all about it. Chamber choir members be prepared to tell a favorite story or aspect you liked the most, on Sunday!
There will be lots to talk about, and we will have lots to do…. so come EARLY….!
1) This Sunday we welcome our newest member Eden Skoff. A few of you have offered to welcome Eden personally and I would appreciate that, as would her mom Ilana. We will have her sitting in the alto section and see how that works out. I would like her to be surrounded by strong alto singers (upperclassmen if possible).
2) we will (hopefully) be handing out our missing piece “Yah Ribon”.
3) If you want to sing a solo at festival, all of the solo’s are open to audition (see below) … BUT I MUST APPROVE YOU FIRST. NY does not want every one in the world auditioning and wants to be sure you are ready so it is up to the conductors to decide who gets to do the initial auditions by MP3 or CD. Chamber musicians are automatically approved. Anyone else must see me for permission. You will be notified by email if you get a call-back. Call backs will be at festival first thing.
4) if you missed a rehearsal and owe me a testing session come 1/2 hour early. If you can’t come early you must contact me by THURSDAY eve. We have covered these songs at the last rehearsal: Arba midot and Shabbat Ha Malka.
5) On Sunday we all will finish learning: Shabbat Ha Malka, L’dor Vador (Nelson/Edelman), and begin La Y’hudim Haita Ora…… of which there are MP3’s that you can find on the Hazamir music website below.
