 SPRING 2026 CONCERT POSTPONED Hi  PWMP -ettes. We had a fab rehearsal on Tuesday, though we were sad to miss  nine  of you. Bring The Secret Wisdom of Flowers for next week. We worked the Gustav, Rajasekar, and Imogen. Although Kathy played a fab harp part, and it was very clear that we can't be ready for the real harp this spring. We decided to push the Holst concert to the Fall.  Our hoped for dates are Oct 18 and 20. Kathy and I will engage harpist next week. BY THE WAY Our December dates are:  Dec 6, 2026 - location TBA  Dec 8, 2026 - CHAPEL at PCCH confirmed by church and next spring April 25 - location TBA  April 27, 2027 - CHAPEL at PCCH confirmed by church Happy Passover, Happy Easter, Happy Spring.

 Submit your MESSAGE TO AMERICA At Monday's rehearsal, Janine mentioned the  Message to America  board that we had in the lobby at the concert.   We have received more than 70 messages from audience members, but fewer than a dozen from chorale members. Your thoughts matter, too!   The notes have run the gamut from a single word ( Peace! ), to a short, but fervent plea ( Give all children the chance for a bright future. ), to some spicier political remarks.  Click here to have your say.    Don't be shy -- it's totally anonymous.   --------------------------------------------------- To refresh the memories of those who sang it in 2019 and explain to those who have no idea what we're talking about, here's the Bucket List project.
