Singers Not Registered for Ireland​

You are welcome to rehearse and perform the send-off concert in the Bay Area with Viva. Viva reg dues are payable.

Let Shulamit know of your intention to participate.​
 

Access​

Rehearsals will be Zoomed live and  links to the recordings posted online as soon after rehearsal as possible so that distance singers can participate online in rehearsals and, if the rehearsal time is not convenient, have access to the recordings.

​

​

Attendance​

Attendance at rehearsal is a priority—for the ensemble, for each singer, for accompanist and conductor.

Our expectation is that you will attend all rehearsals if humanly possible.

Please let Shulamit know in advance if you are unable to attend a rehearsal.

If you are in the Bay Area, please attend rehearsals in person, not on Zoom.
