Regional Spotlight

Hi
I just wanted to let you know that my singing group Caritas Vocal Ensemble will be featured today on the Regional Spotlight on MPR.
Here in the Twin Cities you can hear it on 99.5 FM and they stream their broadcast online Here.
The host told me that the broadcast would be around 3:15, so tune in and listen!

Update:
I added the link to MPR's website, so you can listen if you missed it.

Caritas Vocal Ensemble

I have mentioned before that I am a member of a small a capella ensemble.
We're called Caritas Vocal Ensemble and we are a non-profit group.
Our mission is to sing benefit concerts for charitable organizations in the Twin Cities who provide basic human services to the community - food, clothing, shelter and health care.

We have been rehearsing since the beginning of Fall and we have our first concert tomorrow afternoon.
I just came from our dress rehearsal and I am really excited to sing tomorrow.
We have a very interesting mix of composers and styles and subjects in our program.
We're singing a piece by Mendelssohn and a Beatles song, songs in Latin and nursery rhymes.
If you're in Saint Paul tomorrow come by House of Hope Presbyterian Church on Summit Ave and Avon at 4:00 PM.
We also have 6 more concerts throughout the Spring, so there are lots of opportunities to hear this great program and lots of opportunities to help some very worthy non-profit groups.

Caritas

We, Caritas Vocal Ensemble, are singing a concert this Sunday, March 29th, at Community United Methodist Church in Columbia Heights.
The concert starts at 4:00 PM.
Please come and join us as we make some good music and support a worthy cause.
And, since I dislike photo-free posts, here is a preview of my garden later this summer.
O.K. I took this at the Conservatory, but I will have lots of Foxglove this summer in my garden too.
