The conclusion of Saturday’s successful, near-capacity concert, “A Northwest Celebration,” also brought an end to the eighth season for Northwest Repertory Singers.

It is because of loyal friends and fans like you who have attended one or more of our concerts that we count ourselves successful. Thank you for telling others about our music here in the Pacific Northwest.

Despite the rescheduling of our Christmas concert because of the snow, we sang to record numbers in both our performances on January 10. We pulled out some favorites from past years for our March concert, and combined it with a first for NWRS – jazz! The Kareem Kandi Quartet provided the ideal ensemble partner for us.

And if you were at Saturday’s final concert, we hope you were as thrilled as we were to be collaborating with 125 high school singers from Curtis and Emerald Ridge high schools. Their youth and enthusiasm are truly infectious.

We give special thanks also to those of you who have been able to support our work with financial and in-kind gifts. There’s no hiding the fact that performances like these come with expenses, so we’re grateful for all who are able to give or pledge beyond the ticket price.

A small gift to you

Because we know that you appreciate and enjoy music, we want to share with you some comments about the importance of music made by the director of the music division at The Boston Conservatory. These comments by Dr. Karl Paulnack were made to parents of incoming students on Sept. 1, 2004.

When you have about 15 minutes to curl up with your favorite music playing in the background and a cup of coffee or other beverage in hand, enjoy these moving and meaningful words as a small gift from us to you. (They are reprinted with permission directly from the author to NWRS).
