Note from Ned Henry, H.W.:
I’m sending this to family and friends to tell you that I will be singing in a concert with the choir I’ve been singing with for some 23 years now. This concert is Saturday night MARCH 29 at 8 PM EDT (5 PM PDT). It will be Live-streamed and of course my job is to SELL tickets which you can buy at this link – https://cvchorus.org/ Since my job is selling tickets, this is a pretty wide distribution.
We are singing a Gloria Mass written by Puccini, the opera composer. The music is glorious and we will sing with an orchestra. We only get to sing with an orchestra about every three years. Some of you know I started singing opera some 50 years ago in Alaska. So I love this dramatic music. This however may be my last concert with his group. Not sure I have the chops for this director anymore. And singing the Credo this time made me think about the words – words that I have been singing since I was a choir boy. And I’m thinking maybe I need to express myself musically in a different way.
Finally for those of you with limited financial resources, the concert will be posted on our YouTube page after the concert is over. But If you can afford it, buy a LiveSteam. We need to pay for this orchestra.

I know classical music isn’t for everyone. For those who are local, the concert is at Glenn Memorial on the Emory campus. And there will be a nice reception afterwards. Live Streams won’t get the good food.
Hope to see some of you and since this is going to some family and friends far away, I’ll probably have some sort of party for my 75th birthday this July. I had a guest room built which I’ll probably rent out to a student in the Fall but until then, I have an extra room if anyone wants to come to Atlanta in July.
I hope to see you Saturday evening either in person or livestream.
I appreciate all of you,
Ned
