Signing up for private or group practice times

Remember that my availability for private and group working sessions is on the singer portal.  Just sign up for a time and show up.  If you prefer it to be private, just write private, otherwise any member of your section can join for practice. (I'm really surprised that times are not filled up!)

  Dear Philo Singer: (or Welcome New Philo Singer) Thank you for an awesome 45th Anniversary year! I was so very proud of your performances and singing about beauty and ballgames. You hit it out of the park! This message is about what’s next. 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...
