Our next event is Trivia Night this coming Monday, April 12. Daryl has assigned teams for organization (not competition) so all that's left to do is attend via Zoom and have a good time. Here's the LINK. (This event will NOT be streamed to YouTube. Using Zoom will be the only way to connect). We had such positive feedback after our Trivia Event last Fall. The questions were great as were the answers, some more clever than others. Several folks commented that it was fun to cheer from the virtual bleachers! This time we’ve added AUDIO questions/clips taken directly from the PSC Legacy archives. Current Choir members, alumni, and guest members are all encouraged to participate. How wonderful it will be to see you all again for TRIVIA NIGHT, The Sequel at 7 pm, April 12.
The next Masterworks experience is planned for Tuesday, April 27th. Yes, this is a change from our usual Monday routine due to "artist availability." Eugene Rogers will be leading us in the Duruflé Requiem. For more information about our guest conductor, please visit our website. Tune in to next week’s Noteworthy News for all the dirt on Duruflé (!).
Have you submitted your top 5 PSC performances? Please go to our website to list your choices (pschoir.org/top-5). A listing of works performed going back to 1980 is available within the website page. (Look for the light grey "click here" under the "Let's Rank" headline). Everyone is welcome to "vote." Your memories and recollections of past performances help inform us as we plan our future seasons. We want to hear from you!
