FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
The crisp snap in the air is a real indication that fall is once again upon us. One of the highlights of the fall is the opening of another season of the Thomas Circle Singers.
Our 31st concert season opens on Saturday, November 4 at 7 p.m. with our annual Season Preview concert followed by our Gala Silent Auction. The free one-hour concert will feature the Singers performing selections from our three subscription concerts of the season. Included will be Christmas music by Frank Ferko and Daniel Pinkham, love songs by Kenneth Mahy, Vincent Persichetti, and Daniel Gawthrop, as well as sacred works by Maurice Duruflé, John Rutter, and Gabriel Fauré.
In addition, I will speak to the audience about the music that is programmed for the year, and you will have an opportunity to meet and hear about this year’s concert beneficiaries. If you are a returning TCS supporter, this is the perfect concert to invite a friend to join you and treat them to an evening of glorious music making. The Preview and Gala Silent Auction will be held at St. Patrick’s Episcopal Church, 4700 Whitehaven Parkway NW.
Call the TCS box office now at 202.232.3353 to reserve your space at the concert and to buy your tickets to the Gala. I hope to see you there!
