• Full vaccination and boosters, if eligible, will be required to attend in-person rehearsals.
  Please send a copy of your vaccination card, with booster information, to your section leader as soon as possible (see below). Or bring your vaccination card to your first in-person rehearsal.
• KN95 masks will be provided to singers for use during rehearsals. Please hang on to them and use for each rehearsal.

DETAILS ABOUT THE REHEARSAL VENUE

Room has a HEPA (high efficiency particulate absorber) filter that screens particles even smaller than a COVID virus in the air of the entire room four times an hour.  

Music School feels this room is safe for up to 75 fully vaccinated singers, masked and sitting three feet apart.

CHORALE NOTICE

From long-time audience member and supporter Pat Wilczynski

Dear Chorale members, 

I don’t want to let the year end without thanking you for the December concert, which is one of my highlights of 2021. To say it was one of the best concerts I have attended this year doesn’t really say a lot (it was the only one!). But it was truly one of the most memorable choral concerts ever. 

I usually don’t cry until at least part way through the program, but this year, watching you all walk out onto the stage with your black masks and perform masked (masked!!!) was enough to start the tears flowing. The music was sublime, the experience….unforgettable. Thank you so much. My deepest wishes for a healthy and peaceful New Year for you all.  

Kind regards, 

Pat
