Holiday Performances - details for chorale members

We're so close to our upcoming concert - "Songs of Christmas and Chanukah".  If you're a member of the chorale, you'll want to keep in mind our schedule for the first week of December -- we'll be spending lots of time together, singing and sharing music with the Redmond community! This is when we see the pay-off of all our hard work!


Saturday, December 1st
10am-noon --> Dress rehearsal • at Meadowbrook Church (black dress - ready for noon performance)
Noon --> Centennial song performance • at Redmond Library (black dress)
4pm --> Concert selections • at Redmond Lights, Redmond City Hall (black dress + warm layers :)

Sunday, December 2nd
10:30am --> optional thank-you sing • at Meadowbrook Church service (black dress)
6:00pm for 7pm concert --> Concert performance • at Meadowbrook Church (black dress)

Remember, black dress means:
MEN: Black slacks, black shoes, black belt, black long-sleeved shirt or sweater. Wanna wear a tie? Great! Make sure it's black :)

WOMEN: Black shoes, black slacks or skirt (wear black tights to cover any leg showing), black long-sleeved shirt (no low-cut tops), minimal jewelry (i.e. no dangly earrings, sparkling diamonds). No glittery fabrics!

ALL: The idea is to cover as much skin as possible to unify our group. Also, please make sure your fabrics are simple (no bedazzled or shiny fabrics) so the light will not reflect off of you. It may sound like a very boring outfit, but when we stand together we will look cohesive and professional.

Also, don't forget your black binders!

Guest Violinist

We are proud to introduce, Marilyn Stangl, as our guest violinist for our upcoming American Folk concert.
Marilyn plays classical violin and Irish fiddle. She started violin as a child and played all through high school, where she was concert master of the school symphony. She then played off and on as she pursued a career in science and computing. Marilyn began Irish set dancing many years ago and developed a love of fiddle music. She retired from her day job in 2009 and decided to focus on music as a second career. She now studies classical violin at the Laura Martin studio in Seattle, and Irish fiddle with Dale Russ and Brian Conway.

The Redmond Chorale is honored and excited to have Marilyn join us this concert season!
