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.

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

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

Rehearse with Viva from wherever you are with Zoom​

Rehearsals will be Zoomed live and recorded. Links to the recordings are posted online under each rehearsal date 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.
