From Morna
I am very much looking forward to our final performance of the year this Saturday, June 1 at Christ Church Cathedral as invited guests of the VSO Day of Music. It’s always fun to sing for so many new people. There’s one small wrinkle and that is that I have had COVID for 4 days. I will be testing again Friday morning. If I am negative, I will be with you. If not, Janet Warren is delighted to step in and lead you. She would also take the Friday morning rehearsal.
As you know, music hand-in must be complete by the end of this gig. Many thanks to John Culter, who will cheerfully accept every piece of EnChor music you find in your house. Please give a thorough look.
Exciting news for our September start is that we will be in a new rehearsal venue: the Unitarian Church of Vancouver at 49th and Oak (949 West 49th Avenue). We will be in their well-lit sanctuary with padded chairs, a Steinway grand, and lots of free parking in their lot. Rehearsals will be on TUESDAYS from 10am – noon.
All 24/25 rehearsal and concert dates are now in our Google calendar. Please have a look and be sure to let your section leader know by June 30 whether you will be with us again next year.
Lastly, I now have the details for the optional July sing with the Christ Church Cathedral Choir and members of EnChor, Elektra, and Chor Leoni. If you want to participate, you must attend all three of the dates below. All events are at Christ Church Cathedral – 690 Burrard Street.
- Tuesday, July 2nd, 7:00 – 9:30PM casual rehearsal, read through and social time
