From the Director
Dear Singers,

Thank you all for a great semester and wonderful concert.  I heard many rave comments from audience members.  It was a long journey, with a few bumps in the road at the end, but we got there! I now pronounce us all opera singers!

I’m very excited about our next project, the sublimely beautiful A Sea Symphony by Vaughan Williams.  With poetry by Walt Whitman and our being accompanied by the Cayuga Chamber Orchestra, it will be a most fitting way to celebrate the 50th year of the Ithaca Community Chorus.  I hope you will join us!

Gerald
