Hello September


Wow! The Flash Choir is three years old this month!

We have been having a very laid-back summer, but fall is just around the corner.


We did do this fun and amazing show:

Our work this fall will be with the composer and sound installation artist, Ethan Rose. You can read all about him here: www.ethanrosemusic.com.

We have been working with Ethan through the summer to get his piece together, and our performances for this will be in December; more info to follow on that. The Ethan Rose piece is closed to new participants. We do have a couple other performances coming up that you could participate in, however, if you are so inclined.

October 2nd we will be doing "Strangers Together" at the Narcotics Anonymous convention from 5-6pm.

October 24 we will be doing two new pieces in honor of the new Oregon poet laureate, Paulann Petersen. I am writing them right now! Rehearsals for this piece will begin the week of September 20th. Since the Ethan Rose project will be working on Monday nights at our regular rehearsal space, I'm working on a place to rehearse this new piece, and for getting Strangers Together rehearsed for the 2nd of October. I will be sending info out on the google groups list so if you are interested, please make sure you email picasing@gmail.com to get on that list.

Keep in touch!
