Chorus North Shore is finally back together again. We have just completed our third rehearsal and, although the music is challenging, we’re making great progress. Sunny has chosen three compositions in honor of all the losses we, as a community, a nation and the world have had to face in the past two-plus years. We are working on Faure’s “Requiem”, Lauridsen’s “Lux Aeterna” as well as” How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place”. We have a tentative performance date in late June but are waiting to see what the next few months will bring before making a firm commitment.
As many of you know, making a performance a success requires many individuals working behind the scenes. With the Chorus reduced to approximately half its normal size those tasks fall to a diminished pool of volunteers. The Board of Trustees is currently working to identify, specifically, which roles need to be filled and should have more details within the next two weeks. Anyone who would like to join in making our upcoming performance a success can volunteer by contacting Marya Machart, at maryamachart@gmx.com.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted us all. Sometimes in small ways like curtailing our singing; sometimes in more personal ways like silencing a voice forever. We are looking forward to the day when restrictions are a thing of the past and we are able to bring all the people that created one unified, powerful voice together again.
Stay Well,
Donn Kurjan
President, Board of Trustees
