Thank You... Thank You... Thank You! |
Thank you all from near and far who contributed to rolling out a big welcome to our friends and neighbors from Temple Emanu-el and St Andrews last Sunday. The sanctuary was packed and our guests lingered long in the parish hall to enjoy the delicious food and beverages so thoughtfully prepared to add substance to our spirit of partnership. Dani sends her heart filled thanks for the warm hospitality. You did ONC proud!

Rehearsals for the Palm Sunday Lenten Concert Begin March 1st |
| Rehearsals for the annual Palm Sunday Lenten Concert will begin on Wednesday, March 1st at 7:30pm in the Parish Hall. This year's repertoire will include Requiem in c minor, a stunning work, by Michael Haydn. (last performed at Old North in 2013). The young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart attended the first two performances of Haydn's Requiem twenty years before he composed his own version, which is strikingly similar! Rehearsals will take place every Wednesday evening through Palm Sunday and will include two Saturday rehearsals, April 1, and 8 from 10am-12pm. The performance will take place on the evening of Palm Sunday, April 9, at 7:30pm. All interested singers should contact Maria vanKalken at vankalken@gmail.com so that we will be sure to have enough scores at the first rehearsal. All singers welcome!
