Message from Gayle (September 8, 2025)


Hello Singers!  

Let's SING! Rehearsals start up again TONIGHT at 7:30 at the Presbyterian Church of Chestnut Hill, 8855 Germantown Ave, Philadelphia, PA  19118.

Please bring a black three ring binder or your choral folder or whatever you use for your music.  There are many 8 ½ x 11 photocopies of music. (By Permission or by purchased Digital Duplication Licenses.)  Bring a black #2 pencil and any desired water in a sealed/capped container.  (We're watching out for spills.)

Please arrive no later the 7:20 so you can find your music packet, find your seat, sign attendance sheet, check your contact info, check your music packet, and say hello to your fellow singers.  

AND, please invite your friends and acquaintances and fellow church choir/ synagogue singers to try us out during the month of September.  I'm available for auditions, too, before every Monday rehearsal in September.  

See you soon!  

Gayle

Our main themes: 2026 marks the 250th anniversary of America’s independence – and Philomusica will mark the occasion in two unique concerts for residents of our historically important city.  While we support and applaud the arts organizations that will bring out their American flags and bunting, we will offer something different. No current politics or partisanship. No fifes or drums. With the help and support of our Music Committee, I have designed two concerts that stay true to our classical roots, complement each other, and will be promoted together: On Saturday, January 31*, we will present  COMING TO AMERICA.  We will showcase the music of some composers who emigrated to the U.S. (Rachmaninoff??), as well as first-generatio...

THIS  playlist contains most, if not all, of the songs for the January 31 concert in the order Gayle is currently considering.  (In her emails, Gayle has also shared some versions with individual voice parts -- those are not included here.) -- Susan https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPNyC-YXdeEXzhWSeFPQLfkRpeBjj9QT-&si=6NL95ERqSUoKxaus

25 September, 2025 Message from Gayle Dear Philo Singers: One of my personal goals this season is to get myself to more choral concerts, for my own personal pleasure. to support my friends and family, and to help support choral arts in general in the Philadelphia area. So, it is with a bit of personal privilege that I share this with you.   Choral Arts was founded years ago by one of my teachers and several of our Philo singers, friends, colleagues, and soloists sing with this group.   The attachment gives some info AND a discount code. Maybe I'll see you there!  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1apQtgZ91e9SOFBXSbBKvindW5LVehZYk/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=102387573291399489048&rtpof=true&sd=true
