From Dr. Whitmire

Thursday, December 16th, 2010

Dear Singers- Words cannot express the joy and satisfaction that you have brought to me this season. Your singing of Judas Maccabeaus far surpassed my very high expectations. My veteran singers did their usual excellent job of preparation. Further, I have never had such an outstanding group of new choristers. Together, you created the finest choral tone and musicality that the NOVA community Chorus has ever produced. You have launched us, I believe, in the realm of metro DCs truly fine choruses. I have attached an mp3. I will send the rest to Kate to post on the website.

I look forward to seeing you at our first rehearsal of Spring on January 11. If you know good singers who would like to join us for the Verdi Requiem and Beethoven Ninth, bring them. In the meanwhile, have a wonderful holiday.

Peace on Earth-DrW

Fall Schedule and More

Friday, August 20th, 2010

(08/19/2010) Dear Singers-
– hope you are making the most of the last few days of summer. We have had some beautiful days, haven’t we?

Sadly, my Vocal Seminar was cancelled today due to under-enrollment.
MUS101 Basic Musicianship is hanging on by a thread. This is a great course, that is fun as well. We meet Saturdays 10:00 a.m. until 12:50 p.m. We cover all the elements of music. The more each of us knows about music, the better we will be as a chorus.

Attached is the latest chorus schedule for you reading enjoyment. You’ll note that our Saturday rehearsals (Planets and Judas) will be from 1:00-2:15 p.m. You will also note that we are singing some wonderful music. Tell all your singing friends. They won’t want to miss this season.

I look forward to seeing you Tuesday.
-DrW
