Want to Sing at Carnegie Hall?

After a successful performance at Carnegie Hall in 2012, retired Sac City College Choral Director Doreen Irwin and her “Sacramento City College Alumni Choir” have been invited back. The dates are May 21-25, 2015, and Doreen needs to source 50 to 100 excellent singers to make up the choir for this “once in a lifetime” experience.

The cost is $1,349 per person (not including airfare), based on quad occupancy. Participants can also get a room for one, two or three for an added fee. Non-singing guests are welcome for the same fee. They get tickets to the concert, and participate in all the tour activities, such as a post-concert celebration reception cruise aboard the “Spirit of New York,” that includes a buffet dinner, music and dancing while sailing with view of sights like the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline. The first deposit of $250 is due October 1, and there is a payment schedule.

Doreen expects to start rehearsing late in the fall, and at least once a week in the spring, most likely at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church on Wednesday evening. She notes that all the music will be memorized.

There is much more information which Doreen will be happy to give prospective singers. Many details are in the document at this link:  http://www.sacchoralcalendar.com/News/Irwin_Carnegie_2015.pdfContact her by e-mail, DoreenIrwin@comcast.net or by phone at (916) 991-5232.
