From first sparks… or in this case, rehearsal to soon brilliant radiance! Spirits were high as our Choral Artists joined together for our first rehearsal, starting off preparations for our upcoming debut performance of Season 14. In our process, reference recordings are rarely available—because we are the ones creating them. The Choral Artists and Artistic Director work together to develop their interpretation and address complex sections as they sing through each piece. We identify points to work through and fine-tune each section each week leading up to the performance. Here’s a clip of our work-in-progress. We invite you to see how it all comes together at Light Within on November 9 at St. Mark Presbyterian Church in Newport Beach, CA!
