From the DeanDear all,
Welcome back after what I hope for you was a restful (and I know a well-deserved) Christmas vacation! Alas, with Christmas Eve services barely a thing of the past, we all must get back to work, including your friendly neighborhood AGO chapter. Here is a brief look at our December and some upcoming events for January.
First, the AGO sincerely wishes to thank Elizabeth Clark, our hospitality chair, for hosting the annual Christmas party at her home! Friday, December 7, everyone enjoyed a brief respite from all of their finals and Christmas prepa-ration, instead enjoying each other’s company and Christmas baking.
January brings with it the bulk of prep-arations for the AGO’s annual program of sacred organ and choral music, ChoralFest. This year’s program of music will include Stanford, Taverner, Distler, and much more! See page – for a schedule of rehearsals and perfor-mances. We look forward to seeing everyone at our performances: Friday, February 1 at 8:00pm in Auer Hall and Saturday, February 2 at St. Meinrad Archabbey.
Also in January, IU welcomes audition-ing students to our campus (and our practice rooms!) Per usual, the AGO will sponsor a hospitality room for our newcomers on the following Friday mornings: January 11, February 1, and March 1. Please keep these dates in mind and check your e-mail for infor-mation on how to sign up to help!
Looking forward to a terrific spring. Happy perusal!
