BILL SAYS

"What could be better than to escape winter's chill for an evening of music, fine food, and wine with friends? My jazz trio, along with several CONCORA singers, are busy preparing choice selections from the great American Songbook and classic jazz numbers for you. The musical menu includes a surprise guest singer who will join the ensemble for one of the most beautiful songs in the repertoire... come and be part of the magic, including a sing-along for everyone to close the festivities. I hope you and your friends can join us for a warm evening of Wine, Jazz & Song!"
 
Bill Stillinger, The Sir William Trio
 
DEDICATE A SONG or two or three As a musical means of raising funds for CONCORA’s March 25 performance of Bach’s Saint Matthew Passion, we encourage you to dedicate songs to your sweetheart, your favorite CONCORA singer, your favorite choral ensemble.... Your song dedications will be read by our congenial emcee prior to the song’s performance. Our minimum suggested donation is $25.00 per song.
If you missed the previous issue of this newsletterthen you missed a brief article about what researchers have discovered about how wine and music, when enjoyed together, really do have a synergistic effect. You can read it here: http://eepurl.com/dgZ4xT Then test the theory for yourself on Saturday night as you enjoy a variety of great wines and fine music.
