Sharpen your sight-reading skills and musicality! Sing with Viva la Musica, a choir based in Foster City. Shulamit Hoffman is a rare treasure—a collaborative conductor who invites discussion on musicality and technique in her rehearsals. The music is a mix of rare and traditional works and new work, sometimes barely off the press!
Small-group auditions for Silicon Valley Boychoir will be held Thursday, August 21 by appointment between 3:30-5:30 pm in downtown Palo Alto at 600 Homer Ave. Auditions are open to boys ages 7-12.
Set in a modern English Village caught in fandom fever, sci-fi allusions and parodies of role playing abound as Gilbert & Sullivans satire of Victorian aestheticism spoofs todays trendy cosplay! If you're a Whovian or a Trekkie, you'll want to audition on 3/1-3/5.
