Con Brio will be participating in a day-long choir festival at St. Cloud State University (SCSU) on Sat., Feb. 23, hosted by Cantabile Girls Choir, which is sponsored by the SCSU Music Department Preparatory Program. The festival runs from 9:30 am to 5 pm. Rehearsals will take place at the SCSU Performing Arts Center and Sigrid Johnson, director of the St. Olaf Manitou Singers, will be the guest clinician. A concert, which is open to the public, will be held at 4 p.m. at Christ Church Newman Center in St. Cloud. Stay tuned for details, but plan on a full day, with the bus leaving early in the morning and returning late that evening.
Treble Choir, Concert Choir and Chorale: Snow Days are right around the corner! We’ll be at Camp Omega near Waterville again this year, from after school Fri., Jan. 18 to Sun. afternoon, Jan. 20th. In addition to providing important rehearsal time for learning spring repertoire, this annual retreat is full of wintry fun! Stay tuned for more details, including a detailed schedule and packing list.
Treble and Concert Choir rehearsals will move to the St. Olaf Orchestra Room (on the main floor of the music building) for the month of January. Regular rehearsals resume on Mon., Jan. 7th.
At our Sat. morning rehearsal (12/8), all choirs (except Poco a Poco) will turn in fall music and folders. When you get to Skinner Chapel, look for a box labeled with the name of your choir. Please keep your black bags and bring them to the first rehearsal in January. Remember that singers are responsible for lost or damaged music. Thank you for your help in caring for this valuable choir resource!
