Some words from our Director
Hello singers,
The big news this season is that we really are, at long last, going back to a three concert season. Our classical concert is back!
I love the classical concert. It stretches us as individuals and as a choir, and makes us all better musicians and collaborators. Our
three-concert format, which has served GCCC so well for 36 years, is part of what makes our identity. I am thrilled to have our classical concert back in the mix.
Our first concert will be a holiday celebration called Comfort & Joy, and there will be a lot of both. I have found gorgeous carol arrangements, fun Christmas songs, and pieces that are truly joyful to sing and to hear. It will be just what we need in December, and will be a lovely bunch of music to live with this fall.
We will go back to starting practice early in January so that we can perform our rousing Bernstein & Beyond concert in March. We will reprise a lot of Best of All Possible Bernstein which we did NOT get to perform in 2020, and we will repackage it as Bernstein & Beyond. West Side Story! Candide! Wonderful Town! Leonard Bernstein gifted us with so much wonderful music.
Our June pops concert is called Road Trip & Mix Tapes. This one should be a lot of fun, and will include lots of songs about…I think just about anything we like! I have found lots of cool songs about traveling, and about places in our country which would be fun to visit, but there can be much more. What would you like to hear on your mixtape? Drop me a line!
We, the musicians of Gold Coast, are our best advertisement. If you are a returning singer, bring a friend! The Open House/First Rehearsal will be a perfect way for your friend to try out our group. If you are new to our choir, please join us, meet some folks, and get a chance to see how you like it. Remember, there are no auditions for Gold Coast. We are a true community choir that does great singing, and has a lot of fun doing it! LIZ
