Good Morning, CRC Members!

I hope this email is finding you healthy and not too bored out of your gourd! Please see below for information regarding each piece and what to practice, assuming we have the opportunity to perform this concert (even if it is in the summer!). Many links are already uploaded on our website, and a few more will be added very soon.

As for solo opportunities, what to practice is below. I would prefer the auditions in person, so I will touch base again on when those will be.

Stay well – miss you!
