Sharing yesterday’s note to our singers from Artistic Director Nathan Leaf…

Dear Concert Singers – As I write to you on the eve of our concluding performance of this season, it is fitting to take a moment to reflect on the year that has passed.

Of course, the strangeness of this season is first notable by the fact that I have an opportunity to do this reflecting the day BEFORE a performance. Normally, this day is spent reflecting at a less leisurely pace, over musical details, logistical checklists, communication of information, and all the other things that go into making the performance happen.

But this year, for this performance, all those things are already done. Our musical offering is already mixed, baked, frosted, and is sitting on the counter on a fancy dish, ready to be consumed tomorrow evening. How unusual. Yet, this is, indeed, as we’ve rehearsed, where we find ourselves.

Despite the strangeness, I am also heartened. Heartened by you and your efforts. We had a very strong level of participation throughout the year, undertaking a musical journey in which we did not know what to expect.
