Woo-hoo! Tonight was the first of twelve rehearsals of the Harvard Summer Chorus, and I'm in it this year. We're meeting five hours a week to learn the Dvorak Stabat Mater under the direction of maestra Beverly Taylor, who taught at Harvard for 17 years and is back this summer. This is gonna be intense!
Prof. Taylor's account of her journey to being a conductor appeared in Gregory Wolfe's journal Image in 1997.
how much are the tickets???
Have you heard the soloists yet? That piece has some great stuff for tenor...
I don't know about the soloists yet. To help practice, I've ordered the Robert Shaw version (cheap at buy.com).
The concert is August 6 at Sanders Theater on the Harvard campus in Cambridge; it's not listed in the Box Office calendar yet, so I don't know about prices.
