A Variety of Music You Will Love

Last week, I received an e-mail from a first tenor in GMCW telling me that he thought the music in our upcoming concert, Love, is the most beautiful music we have ever performed. I agree wholeheartedly!

We are hoping that you will come in out of the snow this Saturday, February 13 to hear the chorus and one of its small ensembles, Rock Creek Singers, sing love songs in a variety of styles...Broadway, pop, and classical music.

While we are very excited about performing the world premiere of a men's chorus arrangement of Brahms' Liebeslieder Waltzes (love waltzes), we are also in love with the other music on the program... "Some Enchanted Evening" from South Pacific, "If We Only Have Love" from Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris, and Billy Joel's "And So It Goes" are among the songs on the program.

We are happy to return to The Church of the Epiphany, which located directly at the Metro Center stop AND has a parking garage right next door!

Please join us for this Valentine's weekend special event...Love.

Come to Rehearsal This Sunday, February 7!

Sundays are amazing days. For the past 5 Sundays and into the coming week we have been working on two great musical projects. We'd love for you to stop by to see us in action as we rehearse for our show Love, Saturday, February 13, at 5 pm and 8 pm, and our fully-staged production of the Broadway musical Grease, March 19, 20 and 21.

We have rehearsals for our March production of Grease from 2-5 pm. if you stop by you might see the full cast learning to e choreography to "Born to Hand Jive" ... or you might see the leads working on the "Freddy My Love" scene ... or you might hear the cast having a musical rehearsal for "Summer Nights". Whatever you see, it is great fun to watch. We have our final rehearsal for our Love concert from 6:15 - 9:15 pm THIS Sunday, February 7. You can hear us putting the final musical touches on the Brahms' Liebeslieder Waltzes, a collection of 18 love songs. We're also working on other music for the concert, including two beautiful Rogers & Hammerstein songs, "Some Enchanted Evening" and "We Kiss in a Shadow".

We are proud to be presenting two incredibly diverse events. Over 200 singers are involved in these shows. The talent in GMCW continues to get better and better. We are all having a wonderful time and would love for you to share it with us.

We rehearse at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church on New York Avenue between 13th and 14th Streets NW. No need to call ahead - just stop by the 5th floor to see us in action. Or e-mail me at jeff at gmcw.org for info about the shows.
