           BLUE NOTES FOR TUESDAY, MAY 19, 2009

From Tickets Chair Anne Harkonen:  “The Ethereal Light is going to be rather dim unless members like you purchase tickets now. Believe it or not, only three dates remain to buy tickets at the advanced price - tonight, next Tuesday, and the Saturday dress rehearsal. Regular tickets are $22, senior tickets are $20, and student tickets are $12.  Your friends and relations will be eternally grateful for the opportunity to hear our angelic voices singing ethereal music.” 

From Patrons Chair Steve Warner: “I am honored to report that, due to the great generosity of NSCS members and friends, the spring’s donations have met the ambitious goal set by our 2008-2009 budget.  Warm thanks to all who contributed their time, their talents, and their treasure to this effort.”

Next Tuesday we will once again rehearse in Trinity’s lower level Fellowship Hall. That means once again help is needed to move tables and set up chairs.  And thanks to those of us who arrived early tonight to help with same.

Anyone needing complimentary tickets for our concert should see Len ASAP.

Our mandatory dress rehearsal at Saint Luke’s for Ethereal Light on Saturday, May 30, begins at 9:00 A.M. and lasts till 12:45 P.M., with a couple of breaks.  As usual, we’ll want to arrive early in order to locate our locations.

Anyone who does not have a copy of David’s program notes for Ethereal Light should be sure to pick up a copy tonight.  And then read it, of course. A few postcards remain as well.

This coming Sunday, May 24, David conducts Vaughan Williams' 5 Mystical Songs at The First Presbyterian Church in Libertyville. The work will be performed by the Chancel Choir and orchestra, and features baritone soloist Robert Orth. It will be presented during worship at the 10:00 hour. See David with any questions.
