Fall 2022
Registration is now open!
After two years of virtual work, we are now planning for a return to in-person rehearsals and concerts this season.
Our rehearsals are run from 10-noon at St. John Brebeuf Church in River Heights.
Making use of the large sanctuary, we will be able to sing distanced
and we are continuing to ask people to wear masks during the rehearsals and concerts.
Our membership fee is unchanged this season, at $150 for the season or $75 for each semester.
Also, in returning to in-person work, we are asking each member, as they are able,
to make a donation to the church for the use of the space.
As an inclusive community, we welcome everyone, no audition is required to participate!

Joie de Vive - Coming Up!!
Hello everyone, thank you for a great first rehearsal last Saturday! We covered the first, second, and last movements of This is Noel during this rehearsal, and what a great sound we already have! I have just uploaded a number of PDF scores to the website that mostly fill out the program for this first concert (Dec. 11 at 3 PM, St. John Brebeuf Church), but there may still be one or two more to come. Remember, you do not have to print PDFs of the music unless you want to (for example, if you are using a tablet), we will provide scores for you. This week, it is my plan to review the second and last movements of This is Noel, sing through Dona nobis pacem, start Gaudete, and if time start Ding Dong! Merrily on High. I hope to put up some recordings of this repertoire in the next few days, so make sure to check back! I have a challenge for you!!! Last year we spent a significant amount of time on vocal warm ups and development using a straw, a technique called SOVT singing. I have posted a 7 day Fall Reboot Challenge that was posted to YouTube by the person I learned from and I challenge all of you to complete the 7 day reboot before our first rehearsal!!! There may be a prize for those who complete it... I think that is all I have for you at this time, but if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask! Enjoy the rest of your summer and I'll see you all very soon!! Other News!
