RECITAL 2021: Flora, Fauna, and Firmament

Flora, Fauna, Firmament

All the recital sessions will be outdoors in a back yard among the flora (address in confirmation email). During their performances, singers and instrumentalists can perform unmasked in the open air. Afterward, guests and performers can snack together under the vast firmament and celebrate the beauties of music rehearsal and performance.

Attend One of Three

The recital will be split into three separate sessions to accommodate all who want to attend and to make each session a reasonable length. Parents, siblings, and grandparents are definitely invited. The sessions will also be livestreamed, so both locals and distant loved ones can tune in from wherever they are.

Bring Two Things: Seats & Eats

Please bring camp chairs or picnic blankets for your group’s seating needs. Performers will be asked to sit in the provided chairs in the open-air backstage area. Guests can choose between the cement deck area and the grass as they wish (thus blanket and chair options). It is likely that the grass will be damp.

Please also bring a plate of any kind of refreshment you’d like to share — fresh, sweet, savory, or whatever you like. I will provide drinks, ice, and paper goods.

Dress

Performers should dress formally and look their freshest, and guests should just be dressed — you may be lounging on a blanket in the dewy grass, after all.
