The Journey Begins
As always, I’m looking forward to our first concert of the season with great anticipation. One of my goals as Music Director of the Guild Chorus has been to develop a more mature and confident choral sound, working to improve the blend and vocal color in our performances.

Guest Lecturer
I am excited to announce that harpsichordist and lecturer Elaine Thornburgh will present a must-hear talk before the Guild Chorus’s December concerts, A Baroque Christmas Around the World, the first program in a season we call The Grand Tour.

Opportunities to Support the Arts
In these difficult economic times, funding sources in the government and corporations and even foundations that have consistently supported us in the past must make drastic cuts in their support for the arts.

BCG Board Expands
The Baroque Choral Guild welcomes Brian Steen as a new member of its board of directors. Brian became a part of the Guild just one year ago when he joined the bass section of the Guild Chorus.

Reputation for Excellence
In November, 16 singers from our Guild Chorus will sing the premiere of Lawrence Pech’s ballet Angels: Fallen Otherwise. Guild Music Director Sanford Dole is preparing the singers and will also conduct the four performances.

The Spirit of the Holidays
After their weeks of preparation, including Saturday workshops, our talented Cantabile Children’s Chorus will present another exciting concert, I Will Sing with the Spirit, at 4:00 on December 8 at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Saratoga.
