Rehearsal Notes March 26
Hello singers! Thank you for such focused work on our festival pieces on Tuesday evening. I’m not sure if the benefits of the “polishing” are evident to you yet, but I promise it is worth the effort. Any choir can learn notes and words. It takes a whole lot more brains and heart to dig in […]
