  HOMEWORK FOR 4/10:  Brahms and Kodaly all
     Here’s a link to the recording of Kodaly conducting his Te Deum.  Much better than the other, including slower tempi!  Please use this:  
(Also accessible from the Music Rehearsal Files page on the ACI website [https://acithaca.org/groups/icccs/music-rehearsal-files/], along with Kodaly voice parts and pronunciation of Brahms Schicksalslied text.)
Concert Publicity & Posters
     Our concert is only five weeks away, so it's not too early to start getting the word out -- we need to sell lots of tickets!
 
     Posters are attached as .pdf files.  Feel free to print and post in hard copy, post in your social media feeds, and email them to friends and family.  They're also downloadable from the Chorus's website (https://acithaca.org/groups/icccs/tickets/ ).
 
     The shared spreadsheet at
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RtVwsF5MVB1RmPuAQ3vhfuvMU2iQC7Iuu9YFGvCiIno/edit?usp=sharing shows no-cost opportunities for publicizing our upcoming concert.  Please indicate any outlets you've already contacted, add any that you plan to target, and let Jackie (jackie_magagnosc@twcny.rr.com) know if you have any other ideas.  
Concert Tickets
     Speaking of selling tickets, they're available NOW at https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/6284508 or by scanning the attached QR code.
 
 
Suggestions for Fall 2024 repertoire
   The Steering Committee would love to hear your ideas about what piece(s) we should perform next semester that might help attract both more singers and more audience members. 
 
   Ideally, the program would be less than two hours, not require a large orchestra or many/extensive vocal solos, and would not be something that we have performed recently (see https://acithaca.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/ITHACA-COMMUNITY-CHORUS-REPERTOIRE-030224-table.pdf ). 
 
   Please submit suggestions by April 24.
Newsletter Items?
     If you would like to include a brief item in the ICC&CS e-newsletter, send text ready to copy and paste by Thursdays at 6pm to ICCNews@ACIthaca.org. Notices should be related to the chorus or the local music community.
