The motto of the church musician

Christmas is always tomorrow:

Which, I guess, means that it's always Christmas Eve! Yay!

Upcoming Events

Now that the year at CCM is in full swing, North Bend UMC has started its program year, and Women in Song starts next week, here is a calendar of what is coming up this semester:

Wednesday September 18, 2013
Werner Recital Hall, CCM, 5pm
CCM Chamber Singers presents Haydn's Theresienmesse
I will be sharing the podium with a colleague and directing student soloists for one of Haydn's exciting late masses. It is the first concert by CCM Chamber Singers, who have the privilege of performing the most varied repertoire of any ensemble in the school.

Sunday September 22, 2013
Corbett Auditorium, CCM, 2pm and 7pm
CCM Choirs and Orchestras presents Verdi's Don Carlo
I will be in the chorus for a concert production of the full version of this masterpiece, in the original French. First and second halves are separated by a dinner break.

Sunday November 3, 2013
Christ Church Cathedral, 5pm
CCM Chamber Choir presents Bach's Johannespassion
I will be in the chorus for this staged performance of Bach's Saint John Passion with student soloists and instrumentalists from CCM's Philharmonia Orchestra.

Saturday and Sunday December 7 and 8
Corbett Auditorium, CCM, 5pm both days with 2pm matinee on Sunday
CCM Choirs hosts A Feast of Carols
I will sing in the choir, and also perform with visiting groups as a percussionist for this spectacle of holiday music. Each performance is different, and some are already sold out!

Sunday December 15, 2013
North Bend UMC, 4pm
Christmas Concert
North Bend welcomes guest choirs around the area, and features our own Congregational Choir for this Christmas performance, which is a homegrown favorite of this congregation.

This is aside from additional Chamber Singers concerts throughout the semester, and possible recital opportunities, so stay tuned for additional dates. CCM keeps us busy, and we wouldn't have it any other way!
