Dear Siskiyou Singers!
This will be my last regular email message to the choir as president as my term will be completed at the end of this August. I feel my 2 years as president overall was quite successful. We accomplished a major European choir tour in northern Italy and participated with ~ 3000 singers from around the world in the Alta Pusteria International Choir Festival (and your board has just begun some initial discussions of another choir tour abroad… more on that later). We “made lemonade out of lemons” by performing a very successful FREE Family Holiday Concert in December complete with Santa and children’s gifts! We also performed several wonderful concerts during the 2023 – 2025 seasons providing our community with the experience of hearing multiple and varied choral works.
As I’ve written previously, it is my opinion that Siskiyou Singers’ unique characteristic among the choral organizations of the Rogue Valley is that our concert programs are consistently eclectic (ie., we are not a “one trick pony”). We perform a very wide variety of musical genres and although we work hard at it, we also have a lot of fun doing it!
Mark and Mikiko enjoy helping us to be the best we can be and our singer members enjoy our rehearsals, sectionals, educational outreach efforts, and of course, our After the Concert Parties! I don’t think I’m mistaken in saying that even our instrumental orchestral and vocal accompanists seem to really enjoy participation in our choral performances.
Siskiyou Singers has provided and will continue to provide our members and our community with beautiful, thoughtful, enjoyable and fun filled choral experiences here in the Rogue Valley and even in some far away corners of the world!
Upcoming Events
This coming weekend are two Rogue Valley Peace Choir concerts and attached again is their flyer link with the details.
FIVE of our Siskiyou Singers choir members also sing with RVPC! Elizabeth Bingham, Cynthia Tank, Michael Zuzel, Charlie Mc Chesney and Tashia Simon.
Sign up for singing our national anthem 🇺🇸 and enjoying some fun together at the Rogues Ballgame on June 27th
I wish you all a very wonderful summer 🌞 and hope to see everyone next September for more singing fun! 🎼 🎶 🎵
Yours Sincerely,
Steve
