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
