Special opportunity for singers

We have a special opportunity for VAA singers to sing with the Present Music Ensemble at their Thanksgiving concert on Sunday, Nov. 23 at St. John's Cathedral. All singers who participate in this event will earn $20.00. (You can put it on your resume that you are a professional singer!)

You will be singing a wild and crazy piece called "Hammers and Whistlers" along with singers from other groups (Homestead HS, Muskego HS and professional singers) and the exciting instrumentalists of the Present Music Ensemble.

The composer of this work is Kamran Ince, who is a contemporary Turkish-American composer and he writes very interesting and modern music.

There will be two rehearsals, Nov. 7 and Nov. 9 and you will need to be present for at least one of those rehearsals. I will help you learn the music on a couple of evenings to be announced in late October and early November after our regular rehearsal.

If you are interested in being part of this experience, please email me at emily@vocalarts.us or I will have sign-up forms at rehearsal on Monday night.

It will be fun and we'll have pizza downtown after the concert!

Here is a recording of Hammers & Whistlers:
