well, i am not at all sure there will be other offers. and also, trios are ok. :)
so, here are my three questions: -what voice part are you? -how good are you? -are you free to look at some music tomorrow night?
i realize the second question is problematic. what i really want to know is how good your reading is and how well you hold a part in a duet situation.
fyi, the hours we're talking here are: leaving on saturday around 9 am. i have agreed to sing with a group (mostly my choir) singing christmas carols at 11. you would of course be welcome and also be free to drive separately as the time i'm slotted for is 12:30. and that's it for committment though the fair would be fun to play at a bit. random crafty silly stuff and food and uber-friendly church folks.
choirs around here... i don't know them as well as i perhaps should. it's my understand through some extensive searching when i first got out here that there just really aren't many community choruses - not compared to the boston area, from where i was coming.
i sing with collegium which is 5 college but most of the members are community. it's all early music (except we're singing brahms this semester. ?) and mostly the audition would be to see if you read well - the rehearsals are unaccompanied and count on reading. if you're an alto, all the better. i think we're loaded up on sopranos right now.
but there are also the hampshire choral society and the pioneer valley chorus. i don't know much about them... i think wildgreentide is in hampshire so she might have something helpful to say. and there's the springfield symphony chorus which, according to a friend of mine, has recently gone to shit. there's also the hartford chorale if you're up for a drive.
oh, and the um... what are they called? camerata or something? i think they're supposed to be good.
