HOMEWORK FOR 12/20: PÄRT, Lauridsen- ALL
Concert Posters
 
You can download a concert poster from our website here: CONCERT POSTER
Our newsletter does not easily allow us to attach one to the newsletter without someone (Ed Olmstead) doing a whole lot of extra tinkering. The link allows you to obtain it with ease!
 
Please distribute widely via email! Remember that if you are hanging up posters in town, wait until about 2 weeks prior to the concert-otherwise they'll get covered up and no one will see it!
Cayuga Vocal Ensemble News
 
For only the second time in the group’s history, the Cayuga Vocal Ensemble proudly announces the release of a new recording, “A Celtic Christmas”. Featuring choral music of the Christmas season from Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, this album includes all the music performed at our highly successful December 2016 concerts. The group features some of your chorus buddies!

If anyone is interested in purchasing a CD or a digital download ($15 for CD, $10 for digital download card), please email Janine (your newsletter editor-you can just hit reply!) and she will hook you up. They make great gifts!
