[Fredslist] Mozart in remembrance...9/11, Fairfield CT

[IrisWolinsky at aol.com]

Happy Labor Day Gothamites!
 
  Just passing along info re a concert next Sunday, 9/11, in Fairfield  CT. 
 The soprano soloist, Mary Ellen Callahan, has a most lovely, agile  voice 
- she is a marvelous musician and has soloed for my choir on a number of  
occasions.  Anyone hearing her is in for a treat!  You can sing along  too, or 
just listen & enjoy.
 
  Best regards,
 
  Iris

Dear Friends,
     I hope this email  finds you all well and not too affected by the 
Hurricane or Tropical Storm  Irene.  Here on the Upper West Side in Manhattan, 
we were spared almost  any effects at all...  A few trees down, no loss of 
power, etc.  I  am grateful!
      I'm writing to let you know about a lovely musical event coming up -- 
coming  right up, in fact!  It's on Sunday September 11th, in  Connecticut, 
and is both in remembrance of the victims of 9/11 and is also a  fundraiser 
for an organization that helps people affected by  9/11.
      Details are below.  I'll be singing the soprano solos, and if you'd 
like  to come and sing the chorus parts, that would be great!  You can also  
just listen.
      It would be helpful to the Fairfield County Chorale who is hosting 
the event  if you'd let them know if you would like to come.  There is a link 
at the  bottom for that, and one for more info.
      Be well!
         Love,  
 Mary Ellen
 
9 11 11 Project: A National Requiem of  Remembrance

The critically-acclaimed  Fairfield County Chorale is the local host in a 
nationwide 10th-year  anniversary "9 11 11 Requiem of Remembrance Project", 
sponsoring a  Sing-In of Mozart's Requiem.  Similar to the "Rolling  Requiem" 
that occurred on the first anniversary of the 9/11 tragedy,  this year's 
event starts on the East Coast and rolls from time zone to time  zone, as FCC 
joins choruses from Long Island to Hawaii in a wave of  remembrance with the 
healing and transformative power of Mozart's incomparable  music. 
The Fairfield, CT Sing-In  will take place at 7:00PM at St. Thomas Aquinas 
R.C. Church, 1719 Post Road, Fairfield  (I-95, exit 21).  
There will be an optional  brush-up rehearsal for participants at 5:45PM. 
It will be conducted by FCC  Guest Conductor Christine R. Howlett and 
accompanied by David H. Connell, with  professional soloists Mary Ellen Callahan, 
Kate Maroney, Mark A. Boyle, and  Curtis Streetman. 
St. Thomas Church is generously  co-sponsoring the event with the Fairfield 
County Chorale who  invites all singers to join in this open Sing-in.  
Audience menbers may  also just listen.  A suggested donation of $11 is asked of 
all  participants, which includes music rental. 
All proceeds from the  concert benefit Voices of September 11th 
(_http://voicesofseptember11.org_ (http://voicesofseptember11.org/) ), a charity based 
in New Canaan which supports families and  others impacted by the events of 
September 11th.
