Finger Lakes Choral Festival

Dear Friends,

What a glorious weekend of music making we spent July 23rd-25th! The Chamber Concert on Friday with Ines, her daughter Ela Kodzas, and cellist Samuel Boundy, was exquisite! And our performances at Highland Bowl and at Asbury First were so beautifully done and very well received by our audiences!! Please accept my heartfelt and huge THANK YOU for sharing your time and musical gifts to make all of this happen! Our group this summer was smaller to be sure, but the talent was absolutely there! You are all amazing!!

As we head into the fall season, I encourage you to keep singing! I know many of you already belong to singing groups during the school year, but if you are free on Monday or Tuesday evenings, please consider auditioning for / joining Rochester Oratorio Society or Eastman-Rochester Chorus!! ROS auditions are by appointment August 24th, September 7th and 8th at Asbury First. Our own Eric Townell is the conductor! The repertoire includes the Bloch “Sacred Service”, to be performed in November, with rehearsals on Monday evenings beginning September 27th. Eastman-Rochester Chorus is conducted by Dr. William Weinert, with auditions in the month of August by appointment - call 585-872-4267. (Vaccinations are required.) Rehearsals are held Tuesday evenings, with the group composed of Eastman students and community singers. ERC will perform Beethoven’s “Mass in C” in December! Rehearsals begin on September 7th at Kodak Hall in the Eastman Theatre. I hope to see many of you in ROS and / or ERC this September.

Whatever your plans as times moves along ever so quickly, thank you for being part of Finger Lakes Choral Festival this summer! It is my hope that you enjoyed this summer of singing as much as I did - it was so-o-o-o wonderful to be together again!! I wish you a glorious rest of summer and everything good this fall and winter.

Always know how very, very much you are appreciated!! Take good care and stay safe and well!! Looking forward to seeing many of you back with FLCF next summer!

Peace and Joy,
Sandy Moncrief
