Dear Friends,

With the holiday season here, it is my hope that 2024 as been good for you and those you love and that everyone stayed well! Wishing you all the best for 2025!

As summer is fast approaching, planning for the 2025 Finger Lakes Choral Festival season is in full swing! 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 rehearsal(s) during concert week may take place. Music will be available at the first rehearsal. Registration forms will be on our website.

We have a most exciting summer planned!! Please watch your email and the website for further details and links to rehearsal dates and information. Singers in all voice parts are invited and are most welcome and needed for this summer chorus! 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, singers may wear masks if they wish. Should the situation change, we will revise this accordingly. Please watch your email for any updates.

In the meantime, I 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
