I hope that some of you are able to get tickets to this wonderful concert!  There aren't a terrible amount of seats left so I highly recommend getting your tickets as soon as possible.  I am excited to be singing the soprano solo for the Haydn and it would be great to have your support!  =)

Can you say more about the title War and Hope?

and congrats on the soprano solo.  Sounds like a wise-girl gig of course.

Well, it's the Olympia

Well, it's the Olympia Symphony concert so they chose the title but here are some links so you can read a bit about the pieces.  Here is some info about the Haydn  (also called the Missa in Angustiis or Mass in troubled times) and a little about the Beethoven.  The Haydn is quite jovial for being a Mass which is fun.  It always makes me want to dance when I listen to it!

Cool, thanks for the links.

btw, we are still making our laundry soap using the recipe you shared.  I think that was your recipe?  Anyway, it ought to get reposted every once in a while for folks who want to be a little more independent, a little less corporate.

Tickets are still available

Tickets are still available but not a huge amount.  Maybe 70 in the nosebleed (the sound is great up there even though the performers look like ants!), a small handful in the next two balconys and then about 80 or so in the orchestra. 

Also be aware of the Junior Patron Program which opens up the dress rehearsal to students.

Thanks for the update

Have you considered posting another reminder to front page? I'm thinking it would be a good idea, and it might help to fill up those seats.
