Change the date!

February 10, 2011
Dear CCMA Friends,
The board and I have decided to change the date of our March 13 concert which is to honor Hans Tischler. The March 13 date is during spring vacation and would not JSOM faculty or students to perform or attend.
The new date is April 3 at 2:00 in the U.U. Church. Please tell your friends. and put the new date on your calendars. I will be sending out a poster with the new date on it soon.

Best wishes,
Ruth

CCMA annual Ensemble Competition

The CCMA competition for high school ensembles took place last Sunday in the U.U. church. Judges were Steven Pratt, Paul Hartin, and Marian Bates. There were 8 ensembles competing and a total of 38 musicians involved. The judges and I heard repertoire from Scheidt to Houston Bright with everything in between and enjoyed it all. The judges awarded a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. prize and 2 honorable mentions, and recommended that you be able to hear them all too.
To that end, I will be featuring all of these participants in a concert next Sunday, February 6, at 2:00 at the U.U. church.
Please come and support these capable musicians. They are the performers, listeners, and arts-lovers of tomorrow!

Our final concert of this year will be on March 13 at the U.U. church. It will honor and memorialize our founder and great supporter Hans Tischler. Please contact me if you would like to play or sing in this concert.
Best wishes,
Ruth
