Greetings All!
I hope everyone has had a good Summer so far -
Our second annual OLPH Choral Enrichment Week is coming up - Save the
dates! Monday, August 18 through Friday, August 22 - 6pm to 9pm in
the church*. I hope that all members of our Parish choir will be
able to attend, as it is an incredibly important springboard into our
new year of singing together. Please mark your calendars, and plan
to not miss a minute of this important workshop series.
As we did last year, we will have a number of guest presenters coming
to help us in our efforts to further develop our voices and our
ministry. I have selected four new pieces to add to our repertoire,
and more information on those songs will be posted soon.
General format for the evenings is as follows:
5:40 - Joe will be available for individual work and will be running
some of the new songs for individual voice
parts.
6:00 - Warm-up and breathing exercizes
6:15 - We will work on one of our new and challenging pieces.
7:00 - Our guest presenter will guide us through the evening's choral
focus. (eg: dynamics, tonal quality, etc.)
8:00 - More work on repertoire and the application of the skill set
presented by the guest
9:00 - End of the evening
Plan to join me, and come with a pencil!
