April 2023 concert change and exciting invitation
Our April 2023 concert, originally planned for Saturday, April 30 has been changed to Thursday, April 20 at 7:30pm. We will be collaborating with WSU choirs and orchestra to present Haydn's "Mass for Troubled Times". The reason for this change is due to an invitation that has been extended to PCS members by WSU. Read below for more details.
The member 22-23 planning page, available on the Members' page of the website, has been updated accordingly.

Classical Music Festival in Eisenstadt, Austria
The Palouse Choral Society has been invited to join the WSU choirs to be part of the resident choir for the Classical Music Festival, held in Eisenstadt, Austria, in August 2023. Eisenstadt is the site of Joseph Haydn's 28-year term as a court composer for the Esterházy family, and thus the festival includes opportunities to visit historical sites from the composer's life as well as perform in the spaces where the works were first premiered. While some details are still being ironed out before the 2023 flyer is available, the 2022 flyer is available on the members page of our website to provide some information about the event. Planned dates for the festival are August 5-16, 2023, and final repertoire will be announced soon. In preparation for the festival, PCS has been invited to perform Haydn's Lord Nelson Mass alongside the WSU choirs in April 2023. Any singer interested in attending the festival should plan for approximately $2500 of expenses, including airfare. More information about registration will come as it is available.

Thanks,
Matt
