This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to sing the chorus parts of “The Magic Flute” with the Santa Rosa Symphony. We are working hard in the choir class to learn the German lyrics and the intricate harmonies for several songs that we will be singing. Reading Mozart’s masterful writing is making our singers better musicians.
Thank you for your continuing support - I know the rehearsals on Wednesday and Thursday are late nights for your students, but I promise it will be worth it! I hope many of you have purchased tickets to come watch the performance. If you are not able to purchase tickets, please consider observing the rehearsals (details above).
Thank you,
Marla Tusa
