MESSAGE FROM THE VICE PRESIDENT

Hello everyone!
Just a few quick notes this week... Remember the Workshop with Scott Tucker on April 5th! The registration form is attached to the newsletter and can also be found at our website: ithacacommunitychorus.clarityconnect.com. We will have some printed forms at rehearsal as well.

If you ordered a CD of last semester's Handel/Haydn concert, Joyce will have them ready for pick-up at rehearsal.

Mark your calendars! The Chamber Singers have two concert dates set. They will sing four Mendelssohn motets and be joined by the talented Gerald Wolfe with a few organ pieces on Saturday night, April 26th at 8:00 PM at Grace Episcopal Church in
Cortland, and on Sunday night, April 27th, at 8:00 PM at the Unitarian Church in Ithaca.

Be Well, and see you next week,
Steph Meyer ICC Chorus VP
