9/14 Rehearsal Information

Welcome back PVSB,

Thank you all for your work and perseverance in wrapping up our 2022 summer concerts! By the numbers, we performed for 3 different South Bay cities with a combined 38 musical selections and 250 degrees of heat!

While I enjoyed our outdoor pops-oriented performances, I am looking forward to moving back indoors with better acoustics and cooler temperatures. We begin our 2022-23 season preparing for our Fall 2022 concert, which will include some classics from Holst and Grainger, music from a romantic drama starring a time-traveling Superman, and the world premiere of a Bill Malcolm composition that I think you’re really going to like.

Music selected from:
BARRY – Somewhere in Time
GRAINGER – Irish Tune from County Derry
GRAINGER – Shepherd’s Hey
HOLST – Second Suite
MALCOLM – 4 Comic Strip Impressions
MCBETH – Kaddish
NESTICO – Salute to American Jazz 

We are still trying to secure performance venues and finalize dates, but are targeting a first concert during a weekend of late October or possibly early November.

Upcoming Schedule:
9/14 – Rehearsal
9/21 – Rehearsal
9/28 – Rehearsal and PVSB Annual Meeting
10/5 – Rehearsal
10/12 – Rehearsal
10/19 – Rehearsal
10/22, 10/23, or 10/30 (or possibly early November) – Fall 2022 Concert
