Rehearsal order for Friday and Saturday...

Dear SCNO singers:

Urah, hanevel, v'chinor! A-irah shahar!

Excellent rehearsal last night! Many had their faces out of the score and most were very responsive to Prieto. Bravo! - let's go for 100% on Friday, Saturday, and (of course) Sunday.

The Bernstein is the first item on the rehearsal order both Friday night and Saturday afternoon.

Call is half an hour before the downbeat: 6:30/7:00 PM on Friday and 1:30/2:00 PM on Saturday. We will undoubtedly get out rather early both days, too.

Reminder: the letter "h" needs to be more aggressively enunciated and articulated. The fricative "h" with a dot underneath and the "ch" need to be MUCH stronger. Please go through your score and make sure you are aware of these consonants.

Hineh mah tov, Umah nayim, Shevet ahim Gam yahad.

Amen!
