From the Director
     Great rehearsal this week.  Thank you for working at home.  Keep it up!
 
     Listen to the Te Deum recording conducted by Kodaly to get really secure with transitions and entrances.
 
     For Brahms, stay with the German to make it even better.
Concert Publicity & Posters
     Our concert is only four weeks away, so it's not too early to start getting the word out -- we need to sell lots of tickets!
 
     Posters are downloadable from the Chorus's website
(https://acithaca.org/groups/icccs/tickets/).  Feel free to print and post in hard copy, post in your social media feeds, and email them to friends and family. 
 
     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.  Chorus members will also receive four tickets each next week to sell directly (it's perfectly OK to buy them yourself and gift them!).  
 
 
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 (email ICCNews@ACIthaca.org) 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.
