Music packets for fall 2026 (message sent September 3, 2026)


Dear Singers,

Here's a new idea!  Your music packets are ready (except for three pieces:  Thanksgiving, Wasn't that a Time?, and Eastern State Penitentiary.) The TB only and SA only songs will be on your chairs at the start of rehearsal.   And a couple of you will not have Seasons of Love or Not Infinite just yet.  All will be adjusted on MONDAY, Sept 14, OUR FIRST REHEARSAL.  (I'm so excited.)

Want to pick up your packet?  I'm home most of the time these days.  Just text a time you'll be by and your packet number if you know it.  I'll be here or I'll leave your packet on the porch.

Practice recordings on the way.  See the attachment for some links and the rehearsal plan for the first week (highlighted in gray.)

Cheers, 
Gayle

  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...
