Construction Dust

The SLCA blog is undergoing some changes right now, so please be patient if there are very few posts for a little while. It will all be worth it in the end. :)

Thank you!

Season tickets

Did you think that just because the first concert of the season is over you can no longer buy season tickets?

Well, think again! You may now purchase partial-season tickets! Get three great concerts for one great price!

You may buy this package for $39 (adult) or $26 (students/seniors 60+). Look for a half-season package after the December concert.

Hodie tickets

Just a reminder that tickets for the "Hodie" concert are available on consignment.

When you sign up for consignment tickets, you will be given an envelope with a standard number of tickets in it. You also have the option to check out more, so don't feel restricted. But please don't take 90 if you know you're only going to sell three--that gives us a false sense of how ticket sales are going.

In the meantime, you should know that we are doing quite well selling tickets for this concert. We've already sold around 300, and we're still several weeks away. Keep up the good work and let's plan for a full house!

Review of Multicultural Concert

We got reviewed in Sunday's Salt Lake Tribune. Link to the entire story here, or keep reading below for a few highlights.

"Brady Allred's efforts to share world music during the Salt Lake Choral Artists' "Multicultural Celebration" at Libby Gardner Hall Saturday night were met with enthusiastic approval.

"
The Chamber Choir . . . demonstrated secure vocal technique, clear diction and centered pitch. Allred allowed his singers ample expressive freedom, and the group's shared musical vision gave the performance unity throughout.

"
The [Concert Choir] sang five movements from [Fanshawe's] 'African Sanctus' and three selections from 'Pacific Song.' . . . [a] well-honed performance.

"
The evening's most appealing selections were a Taiwanese song, 'Diu Diu Dang Ah,' that mimicked the sounds of a train journey and Aboriginal Australian music, 'Past Life Melodies,' that utilized overtone or throat singing to fascinating effect.

"
Jane Fjeldsted led the women's chorus in delicate and expressive music . . . Associate conductor Aimee Frederick directed the Concert Choir in lush and detailed music."

Well done, everyone!

SLCA Cookbook

Don't forget to copy down some of your favorite recipes for use in the Salt Lake Choral Artists Cookbook!

Carolyn Bristol and Leslie Anderson, who are spearheading this project, have asked that we either email our recipes to them or take them to a Tuesday night rehearsal. They've been collecting recipes all September and have asked that we have everything turned into them sometime this month.

That means you only have one more Tuesday night rehearsal--September 30--to hand in your recipes! Make sure to do it--this will certainly be a great cookbook with everyone's participation!
