We met again with increasing comfort and confidence in Zoom.
I encourage every member of the York Region Community Choir to join these Monday evening meetings to continue our weekly habit of gathering to sing, to maintain and grow our musical abilities, to see and connect with the community of choir members, and to support each other.
We don’t have a concert to rehearse, but we do have to prepare for future concerts. We will perform again.
We can’t hug each other but we can share our joys and sorrows, our worries and our solutions to common challenges. It’s such a joy to me to see the beautiful faces, the beloved smiles, and to hear the voices and laughter of my choir friends again!
If you or someone you know has been reluctant because of the technology, please let us know and we’ll try to help.
We meet for a little over an hour, and might go longer as everyone gets more comfortable.
We are using electronic copies of our music but some of us print it out. It helps to have 2 devices at hand so you can have one screen for the sheet music and another for seeing everyone.
We sing along to concert recordings so that you hear your part, you hear the whole choir singing with you. You’re not alone.
Please join us!
We sang Let There Be Peace on Earth, Monday, Monday, Why We Sing, and You’ll Never Walk Alone.
Tomorrow, November 2nd, we’ll sing Somewhere Out There, You Raise Me Up, the Hockey Song, and My Grownup Christmas List.
This is where we are at the moment. Let’s enjoy this season and anticipate with hope our time together in the next one, like this or in some other way.
