Dear Ensemble and Vocalise Singers and Families,
We have
a very busy couple of months ahead! Please read all emails and blog articles
that come to you over the next several weeks very carefully – they will contain
vital information about concert preparation.
Upcoming
Event: Friday, April 4th
Aria
and Bravi will be performing in the Los Altos plaza at State St. and Main St.
for “First Friday”: http://losaltosfirstfriday.org/about/
Come on
out from 6:30-7:30pm and support them! Bring your friends, and anyone you know
who might be interesting in joining Cantabile!
Practice
and Memorization
All
music must be memorized for performance. Memorization checks will be done in
class.Singers who miss a scheduled memorization check for a piece will need
to record themselves singing the piece on video and send the file to the
conductors. Singers who have missed three or more rehearsals will need to do a
repertoire check in person with a conductor in the next couple of weeks – you
will receive an email with specifics. Singers who miss four or more rehearsals
and do not successfully complete a repertoire check will unfortunately be asked
not to participate in the concert(s).
