Hello friends!  We’re definitely at the end of summer this weekend, and most groups are well into their plans for the coming year.  While I was in Santa Fe I contacted several singers whom we want to have this year, and whom I had talked with previously.  It looks like another good year of programs.  I sent out our dates and the singers made their choices. We can still book one more program if anyone has suggestions.

This is what it looks like so far:

• Oct. 19;  Francisco Bedoy, tenor

• Nov. 16; Rachel Davies, mezzo

• Dec. 14; Julie Johnson, mezzo at the home of Linda and Tom Smith

• Jan. 18 or 25; Mary Dibbern with Gabby Gifford and Malcom Payne, baritone

• Feb. 15 or March 21; hopefully Lauren McNeese, sop. singing Strauss songs

• April 18; Josefina Maldonado, soprano

I look forward to seeing everyone again soon, and welcome any suggestions. 

I hope everyone has had a good summer,

Marilyn Halla
