Winter 2025
Dear Friends,

As hard as it is to believe, we are fast approaching the month of March! Spring is around the corner, and following spring, it will be summer!! Hoping you and those you are love spending a safe, happy, and healthy winter of 2025!

Planning for the 2025 Finger Lakes Choral Festival season is well underway, and registrations for our summer season this year are coming in! Thank you to all who have registered thus far! This summer our concert will take place at Hochstein Performance Hall on Sunday, July 27th, at 4 PM. The repertoire includes Karl Jenkins’s “The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace.” Chorus rehearsals will continue at Asbury First United Methodist Church, 1040 East Avenue in Rochester, beginning on Wednesday, June 4th. Additional rehearsals during concert week will take place. Music will be available at the first rehearsal. Registration forms may be found on our website.

Summer of 2025 promises to be very exciting!! We have wonderful collaborators and instrumentalists set to go! Please watch your email and the website for further details and links to rehearsal dates and information. If you have not already registered, please know that singers in all voice parts are invited and most welcome and needed! We will be thrilled to have you!!

As always, please be assured that our first and foremost concern for all participants in Finger Lakes Choral Festival continues to be protecting their health and well being. Although not required, masks may be worn. Should the situation change, we will revise this accordingly. Please watch your email plus the Finger Lakes website for any updates.

In the meantime, it is my hope that you enjoy everything wonderful and positive for these coming weeks and months until we can be together to share our gifts and our love for choral music! Please take very good care, and always be very careful wherever you walk!

Peace and Joy,
Sandy Moncrief
President, Finger Lakes Choral Festival
