Dear, Dear Singers,
The holiday season is here, and with it comes colder weather and all that is connected to winter in Rochester and Western New York! As winter is upon us, let’s turn our thoughts to warmer days of sunshine, picnics, family gatherings and vacations next summer!
Planning for the 2026 Finger Lakes Choral Festival summer season is already well underway! We will begin on Saturday, June 6th, and continue Wednesday evenings through concert week, with additional rehearsals at that time. Our concert date is Sunday, July 26th, at Hochstein Performance Hall.Our 2026 repertoire will be Howard Hanson’s work, “New Land and New Covenant,” written 50 years ago for the 200th anniversary of our country!
It will be an exciting summer, and it is our hope that you will participate with us! Singers of all voice parts are most welcome and invited to share their musical gifts and their love of great choral music in 2026!
Watch this website for further details and registration information in the upcoming months!
Wishing you and those you love everything good and joyous for the holidays and beyond. Please take good care, especially this winter! Stay safe, warm, and well!! Looking forward to seeing you in Finger Lakes Choral Festival 2026!
Peace, Hope, and Joy,
Sandy Moncrief
President, FLCF Board
