travel opportunity for choir directors

Mississippi Music Educators — Wed, 06 Jul 2011 22:55:34 GMT

Dear friends and colleagues,

The Jackson Choral Society is planning a fabulous trip to Europe to sing
with the incomparable Dr. Eph Ehly! We will be participating in a choral
festival in Innsbruck, Austria entitled, "The Passion Within." I can promise
you it will be life changing!!

I'm writing to let you know there are still some spots available. We'd love
for you and members of your choir to consider making this incredible trip
with us!

Dr. Ehly is one of the country's most dynamic and inspirational conductors.
He has said that, "the ultimate inspiration for mankind is to experience the
ethereal." Don't let this opportunity to work with this giant in choral
music pass you by!

The trip is planned for May 26 through June 3, 2012. You can click on the
link below to read more about this incredible opportunity to build personal
and corporate musicianship within your choir! www.jacksonchoralsociety.org

If you know of non-singing persons who might be interested in making the
trip, singing in the choir is not a requirement of participation.

Thank you for passing this information on to interested adult singers. We
hope some will consider taking advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime musical
experience!

Sincerely,

Nancy Moore

Artistic Director, Jackson Choral Society
