Very Important Newsletter for All Masterworks Singers Tour Questionnaire

Published: Fri, 06/20/25

Masterworks Singers Newsletter Spring 2025 No. 24

Dear People,

Before I delve into the very important request of this edition of the Newsletter, I have to give you my highest gratitude for your amazing performances this Spring. Our second performance at St. Catherine of Siena was a tremendous success musically. I am so proud of how you responded to the new site in such short rehearsal time, and amazed at how well you performed even though the temperature in the hall was challenging. We have received many congratulatory emails and texts from those in attendance.

Now, please read the next portion carefully, and I hope ALL members will respond to the attached Questionnaire.

To All Masterworks Singers—past, present, and future,

Many of you have responded individually that you are interested in the Paris Festival next June.

I truly appreciate the messages I have received indicating the interest in participating in the International premiere of Elaine Hagenberg's newest Major Choral work with orchestra.

We have an extraordinary opportunity ahead: to be part of the world premiere of Elaine’s work in Paris, France. As you know, this journey will be a musical and cultural highlight, and for some, a pilgrimage.

To help us coordinate logistics and finalize travel arrangements, we ask each and every one of you to complete a short questionnaire by Friday, June 28. Whether you’re planning to join the full custom tour or just the shorter Festival version, your response is essential.

If you are planning on traveling with a spouse, friend or family member who is NOT a Masterworks Singer, please provide their names in the answer space provided. They will be counted as official travelers in our report to Perform International.

This invitation is extended to all members of the Masterworks family: those currently singing, alumni, and those newly interested in joining us on this beautiful endeavor.

If you are not planning on the tour, please answer the appropriate question on the questionnaire.

I extend to all of you my deepest gratitude for your continued passion and dedication.

Blessings,

Morris

The information below is copied from the initial Newsletter giving the details of the two tour proposals.

The first link is for the EXTENDED PROPOSAL.

Masterworks Singers has toured many locations over its 18-year history. When taking those tours, we had wonderful opportunities to perform as an individual choir in beautiful locales experiencing the

joy of our motto... "Bringing Peace Through Music".

As I mentioned earlier, I have met with the representatives of Perform International Tours, and have given them the history of our customized tours.

The following link gives details for what we will call our EXTENDED PROPOSAL.

This description is designed to extend our tour by two days. This particual proposal sends us to Normandy, (a very emotional experience as described by colleagues) and to Lisieux to perform a Mass and concert in the basilica of St. Therese.

I want to let you know that this is a first effort at an extended proposal. There could be some changes to the itinerary of the extension at this point, but this is an initial suggested plan.

Once again, the pricing that is described is Land-Only. Airfare is not quoted.

This second link is taken from Elaine Hagenberg's website explaining the details of the Performance Festival. This involves touring to Paris, France, rehearsing for the Festival with invited singers and a professional orchestra, activities and tours within Paris, and details of the International Premiere performance.

The dates are June 19-24, 2026.

The pricing that is advertised is a land-only price. Airfare is not included.

As you inspect these details, take a look at the proposal, and we will call this the Basic Proposal
