Hello from wintery Ithaca!
What an incredible semester fall 2021 proved to be! After a year and a half of no live concerts and limited virtual performances, the Glee Club returned triumphantly to Ithaca without missing a beat. From our first performance at new student convocation during orientation week to our finale hurrah at Lessons and Carols in Sage Chapel, the Glee Club pulled together and rediscovered our musical solidarity. The Homecoming recording link can be found here and the Lessons and Carols recording link can be found here.
The start of the spring semester has already presented new challenges as we face the brief return to virtual meetings and new restrictions on in-person singing. However, the group has already displayed unwavering morale and excitement as we begin to prepare for our coming spring performances. Information regarding our upcoming performances are forthcoming at this time, and will be sent out in the near future.
While 2022 hasn’t started off in the way that we had hoped it would, I am constantly uplifted by the joy that each individual member has brought to rehearsal this past week. The Glee Club has shown time and time again that we will do whatever it takes to continue sharing the beauty of choral music, no matter the challenge. I look forward to sharing our accomplishments with you all this semester!
P.S. - A few things to do, while you’re here!
Yours in glee,
Samuel Schneider
