January President’s Message
Dear Members,
Welcome back to all of you! Another year is already off and running; we have a lot of good events coming up.
It was brought to my attention that one of our members, Susie Kim, was married on October 13, 2012 and recently moved with her husband to Virginia. I know you join me in wishing her and her husband the very best in their marriage and their stay in beautiful Virginia!
Our Composers Today chair, Emily Hung, just sent out an announcement about the upcoming CT application due date of Tuesday, January 15. Remember to go to mtac.org for the application and uploading details.
The first MSSL recital of 2013 will occur on Saturday, January, 19, 2:00 p.m. at the Park Plaza in Orange. Our MSSl chair, Victoria Park just sent out the announcement and attached the form. Form due date is January 12.
Our brand new Festival for Strings, Winds and Voice, chaired by Ann Kim will take place on Saturday, February 23 at the Geneva Presbyterian church in Laguna Woods; registration information will be sent to you shortly. A judge from each instrument category listed above will be adjudicating. Chi Asada graciously offers her services as accompanist for a minimal fee of $25 which includes one 30 minute rehearsal and festival performance. The accompanist fees will go to our branch. This is not only an excellent opportunity for instrumental students to try out their pieces before the C.M. evaluations but also a great $$ investment and value so take advantage of it!
Sounds of Baroque and SCJBach Festivals, chaired by Chi Asada will also be held on Saturday, February 23 at Geneva Presbyterian church; registration information will be sent to you shortly.
A reminder that Thursday, January 31 is the on-line CM repertoire and day registration. Our busy CM chair,Sandely Miller, just sent out a reminder about this. Registration closes at midnight on the 31st.
Finally, I look forward to seeing everyone at our Wednesday, February 20th branch meeting, 10:00 a.m. at Fields’ Piano. Particulars regarding meeting topic will be sent out beginning of February.
Musically yours,
Vivian Lee R. Field
