From Alissa: Our second Vocalize & Socialize is almost here (August 23)! This will be an excellent opportunity to get your voices in shape for our upcoming season. Be sure to register by clicking this link. We will continue to be on the outdoor basketball court at the Multnomah Arts Center. Plan on arriving early (6:45) to sign in, get your music, and socialize -- and be sure to bring a chair! All vaccinated singers are welcome and you may bring a mask as well if you like. After singing, the plan is to continue the social interaction at the nearby Lucky Labrador Pub and their outdoor seating area. A map of the Multnomah Arts Center area is attached. Please note that the check-in and music handout tables are nearest the Capitol Highway side of the property. Also, if you are not feeling well (respiratory issues, cough, fever, etc) please stay home.
Folks needing to complete their Voice Check should be sure to note the due-date in less than 10 days. If you have questions about this process, please send an email right away to Claire our Operations Manager (Claire@pschoir.org) or me (president@pschoir.org).
Please also remember that the Let's Get Ready To Sing Again voice lessons series is still available on the Members and Alumni/Guest pages of our website where you can pick and choose your favorite vocalizes.... Click on the tab then scroll down the website page. Pro tip: these exercises will also help with “Voice Checks" for returning PSC members.
Some folks have asked about the availability of a link to easily add the official PSC calendar to their Smartphone, whether it's Apple iOS or Android. (Click here) This uses a global file type for shareable calendars, ical. Depending on your device, you may be prompted to download a file -- that's ok in this case! By linking your device to our online calendar, rehearsal dates and other important PSC events should automatically appear and update.
As mentioned during last week's Summer Sings, a PDF is attached with the text and sources for the Vaughan Williams Dona nobis pacem. To view the entire presentation, click here for a special link to YouTube.
