Masterworks Singers Newsletter Spring 2026 No. 23
Dear People,
I still am going to write a much longer and sincere thank you. This week has been a return to
multiple services for the end of the year.
I do need to let you all know that, somehow, Elaine has been receiving notes and letters directly about our two performances from patrons who attended.
She is quite excited to hear all the details from me. Hopefully, next week will allow me a chance for a phone call with
her. She is still looking for suggestions on improvements to the scores. I have let her know the new string parts were a very successful edition. We will see if she comes up with anything added over the next few weeks.
Commissioning and performing new music could not be more exciting!!
THIS IS A NEWSLETTER REMINDER... NO REHEARSAL THIS EVENING, MAY 14. TOUR REHEARSALS RESUME NEXT THURSDAY MAY 21. ALL ARE INVITED... SEVERAL WHO ARE NOT TOURING HAVE ASKED TO COME AND I HAVE AGREED, BECAUSE THEY WILL BE HELPFUL TO THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SUNG SOME OF OUR "TOUR" REPERTOIRE.
The remainder of this
Newsletter is information from previous Newsletters with one exception. Please scroll down to read the next installment of Paris "Tips" from Martha Z.!
Blessings to all,
Morris
