Christmas Stories Will Feature Special Guests: Cuppetts!

Since it wouldn’t be the Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies without actual, dancing sugarplum fairies, we’re doubly delighted that dancers from Cuppetts Performing Arts Center are joining us in our production of Christmas Stories.

Cuppetts is a family enterprise that has been turning out trained dancers from their Vienna studio for fifty years (that’s something worth celebrating!). One more reason to join us for a little holiday cheer, a little ballet, and a fun little twist on a holiday classic.

We are SO excited!!! 🙂

 

2011-12 Season Kick Off!

All of a sudden, it’s nearly mid-August! Which means we’re less than three weeks away from our season kick-off. Come by, enjoy refreshment, conversation, new friends, and possibly try out for a non-audition choir if you’ve always wanted to sing. We’d love to see you there.

                                 WHAT:         Vienna Choral Society’s 2011-12 Season Kick off
                                 WHEN:         7 – 8:30 pm, Tuesday, August 30, 2011
                                 WHERE:      Great Hall, Vienna Presbyterian Church 

Enjoy refreshments and conversation, an informational presentation about the Vienna Choral Society, how choir membership works, and an overview of our upcoming season. We’ll also have time for a Q&A.

If you’d like to join the choir, please let us know and Jen Rodgers Beach will place you. You can also pick up new singer packets at the kick-off, and you’ll have until the 3rd rehearsal to make a commitment.

Vienna Presbyterian has its own parking lot, but there is also ample street parking, and if you’re up to a short 10 minute walk, Patrick Henry Library is a block south, on the opposite side of the street.

 

End of the Season

And so Vienna Choral Society’s 2010-2011 season is ended. Songs about want and hunger of all sorts that still managed to be uplifting provided the theme of our October concert, and December brought us out of the cold and into a ski lodge, where – golly gee! – there was a piano and a bunch of fabulous people who knew all the holiday standards. The CD of our March concert, Aesop’s Fables, features the delightful (and delighted) squeals of a toddler who was evidently enjoying all the silliness, and the expert story-telling (“story-showing?”) of Sabrina Mandel and Mark Jaster added to the fun.

Vienna Choral Society sings Clif Hardin's Requiem

 

We ended our season last Saturday with A Celebration of The Life at Vienna Presbyterian Church. The beautiful space was a perfect match for the soaring music, and indeed was an important component of the concert, as we used the balconies and the eaves to compound the harmonies, oboe and harp. But it was Clif Hardin’s Requiem that was the centerpiece of the evening. It was an amazing experience to perform it, and judging from the reaction of the audience, it was an amazing experience to hear it. Thank you, Unitarian Universalist Church of Fairfax, Unitarian Universalist Church of Rockville, and the orchestra for joining us. We want to sing together again. Soon.

Look for us at Viva Vienna! Next Saturday at 6:15. And please consider singing with us next season: it’s even better on the risers!
