January House Rehearsal in West Petpeswick

We held our first House Rehearsal of the season on a snowy evening in West Petpeswick. Many thanks to Charlie and Betty-Anne Gaetz for hosting the Choir and the guests, and for the welcome refreshments. This was only our third rehearsal of this season’s all-Canadian program. We are making steady progress. Thank you audience for your tolerance and understanding!

One of the photos shows John leading and accompanying his new composition “Voices Answering Back: The Vampires”, commissioned by the Choir. It is a privilege to be able to participate with the composer in the steps to bring this work to performance.

A great House Rehearsal yesterday evening in East Ship Harbour. Many thanks to Bill and Mary Ann Gilbert for opening their home to the choir and guest audience, and for the lovely refreshments after the singing. In addition to reviewing some favourite material from our last concert, the audience was very gracious and patient as we “note-bashed” some new sections and tackled less familiar material we hope to perform in concert soon! Thank you again.

We had a great House Rehearsal in Lake Echo last Thursday, St. Patrick’s Day. A big thankyou to Susan Edwards for hosting the event in her home, and for the refreshments. Here are a few photos of some choir members and guests, including one of a potential new recruit, Hector, shown practicing the “Stay!” command known to all chocolate baritones.
