 PLEASE NOTE:  The information I shared at rehearsal about PCR testing was incorrect, it is very expensive only if you want a same day result.  Included in this C-Notes are resources for locations for free COVID-19 testing, and another graphic of the locations of testing.  We have also updated the requirements for within country travel, please see the listing below.  Neither the CDC or the State of NH requires this kind of testing for national travel, however we are choosing a higher standard because of the risk of singing.

Amy Cheney was born September 5, 1867 in Henniker, New Hampshire. She would become one of the most respected and accomplished American composers of her time.  As a pianist she had her debut at 17 with the Boston Symphony Orchestra performing the Chopin Piano Concerto #1.  Beach began composing when just 4 years old.  At age 25 she was commissioned to write a choral piece for the opening of the Women’s Pavilion at the 1893 World’s Colombian Exposition in Chicago.  Four years later her Gaelic Symphony was premiered by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, the first symphony composed and published by an American woman. Beach became a national symbol of women’s creative power and was the dean of American women composers.

LIMMIE PULLIAM PREMIERE WITH LA OPERA: VERDI’S IL TROVATORE AS MANRICO

Limmie is premiering as Manrico in the LA Opera’s opener this weekend. There will be a live broadcast on Oct 3 at 2 pm PST (5 pm for us I expect).

This is the link to Limmie’s bio which includes references to his performances with us (why does it say Immortality was cancelled?)
