Jim Kennedy, a long term member and treasurer of the Juneau Lyric Opera board, passed away this week. The family has asked that a chorus sing for the memorial service on Saturday, October 17, at 1:00 PM. We will rehearse a some good arrangements of a few simple hymns for the service during our regular Monday evening rehearsal this week (October 12), and there will be a short rehearsal on Thursday evening, at 7:00, at a location to be announced. We will also meet on Saturday, October 17, just before the service at 12:00 for a quick run-through.

I'll post information about rehearsal space and the service itself, as soon as I find out more. Jim will be missed; my condolences to his family and friends.

Regarding Bach rehearsals, please take a look at BWV 61, verse 1 (the fugue) when you have a chance.
