Announcements

---

Our rehearsal times are now from 7pm–9pm. Note that this is different this semester!

• The "main dish" for our Spring concert will be Kodály's Missa Brevis for chorus and organ, a wonderful piece of choral music and a definite step up from the Pange lingua we did last year.
• The program will also include a few shorter pieces for treble choir (sopranos and altos) and a few for bass choir (tenors and basses) and organ by Josef Rheinberger.
• Reminder: Tuesday rehearsal is not the time to learn notes. EVERYONE must do the learning prior to rehearsal. Learning tracks are provided, so please, do your homework!

Preparation for Rehearsal March 25
Sopranos
Auditions for the soprano trio in the Kodaly mass.
On Tuesday, March 25, at 6:30pm I'll be listening to any soprano interested in trying out for any of the three parts in that trio.
Please email me directly at [email protected] if you plan to audition.
