Symphony Under the Stars

Make sure you have Saturday, May 8th marked on your calendar for the annual Symphony Under the Stars concert with The Florida Orchestra at the Raymond James Stadium in Tampa starting around 6pm.  Raymond James Financial throws a concert event every year for their employees (& families) in the football stadium and it's really a lot of fun.  It is a private event (no public tickets) and usually has around 5,000 attendees (Kara will have access to some free advanced family tickets for you later).  Raymond James provides a very nice donation to the Chorale for this event plus it's great exposure to a crowd that may not typically come to our concerts.  It is very important to keep this relationship with Raymond James healthy by giving them a fantastic performance, so we ask all of you to set this evening aside now.  We will post more specific details as the time gets closer regarding rehearsals, directions, concert attire, tickets and performance times.  Music for this concert is free on loan and will be provided later.

Online Music Resources for Elijah

Listen to your part or all of them for each movement of Elijah online through a website called CyberBass.com.  Here is the direct link to this resource.  The link can also be found in the Singer's Section of our website.  Dr. Holt's score markings are also online in the Singer's Section.


Donations In Kind - Office Supplies

Here are some ideas for in kind donations.  We use all of the following quite frequently:  Copy paper, card stock, manila mailing envelopes, and bubble envelopes for CDs (small and large).  We could also use magazine file storage materials.
