Dear parents,
I still need a chaperone for the afternoon as well as two to sell tickets from 3:30-4:00.
Please email me if you can. choirs.conservatory@gmail.com
Much appreciated!
Penni
P.S. the festival is only for the Children’s choir, NOT for the grade 6 singers in the youth choir as initially scheduled!!!
Dear Parents,
I need a couple of parents to stay from 1-4 pm during our rehearsals to be chaperones. I will also need two parents to sell tickets as of 4:30.
Admission for these four parents will be free! 🙂
If you can, please let me know by email at: choirs.conservatory@mcgill.ca
Merci!

Well done yesterday! Such focus, we went through a lot of music!
Let’s keep this up and create a stunning concert for our public!
What to do:
Africa – memorize your verse of words – sops – vs 1, altos – vs 2
Belle nuit – memorize
review words in Keshet l’vana & Though we be but children
These four songs will be sung by the YC in the May 15 concert.
Also, look at Rendez-Vous:
‘La lettre’ – YC begins singing at bar 29 ‘Rendez-vous…’
‘Au musée’ – YC sings all of this, you are the visitors. Look at French text, bars 20-30
Look at words in ‘Ou est-elle?’: bars 7-15 ‘Tout au fond à droite…’
AND, in ‘la Joconde’, look at verse at bar 31-34, ‘J’en ai merre, moi je veux vivre ma vie…’
Thank you all & see you next Monday for an extended rehearsal!
Monday, May 2, 6:00 – 8:15 pm
Lundi, 2 mai, 18h-20h15
Merci!
Félicitations!
You all did a great job this evening! It was long and tiring but you sang beautifully, with emotion and with expression!
Thank you! Merci!
A lundi pour faire la musiqeu pour notre festival le 1 mai et les concerts de la fin de l’année!

(I will ask others to provide such food for our end-of-year concert! Thanks!)
This is a wonderful opportunity for our children to sing with several fine Children’s Choirs in the Montreal region and for a very good cause! Thank you for your support! 🙂
