Hello everyone,
Thanks to Karen Hohner, Jeanette Hung, Diep Maser, Desta and Steve Krong, Barbara Weinstein, Carolyn Luk, and everyone else who helped out at the potluck on Saturday! It was great hearing all the kids perform together and the food was absolutely delicious. Thanks as well to Angel Reyda and Cindy Howard for our Wednesday snacks.
1. Sonja Palmer, Cantabile Executive Director, is now officially on maternity leave. Here is some information to help all of us communicate with each other!
If you have questions for the office, you can email manager@cantabile.org. Our business manager Jennifer will be responding to any financial or tuition business.

The extensions are: General Office, extension 71, Sonja: Extension 72 (but remember she is on leave), Karen: Extension 73, Elena: Extension 74, Shane: Extension 75, Keri: Extension 76
2. TORMIS WORKSHOP
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4TH
GRACE LUTHERAN CHURCH
3149 WAVERLY ST
PALO ALTO, CA 94306
Veljo Tormis is an internationally renowned Estonian composer and conductor.
This is an amazing opportunity for our children to not only work with the Maestro, but also learn by watching him work with other choirs. We are honored to have been invited to participate in this very special event, and consider it to be a once in a lifetime opportunity. The informal concert in the afternoon is open to families and we hope that you will attend.
• Call: 10:30, warm up in Brown Hall
• Piedmont Choir clinic with Tormis, 11:00-11:45 (Cantabile observes)
• Cantabile Vocalise/Ensemble Choir clinic with Tormis, 12:00-12:45
• Lunch on our own (bag lunch) 12:45-2:00
• Combined concert 2:30-3:15
• Dismissal 3:15
3. UNIFORMS Over the next few weeks, we will be receiving uniforms. I will be bringing in some pants and blouses to distribute to our new singers (and returning singers who ordered something) this Wednesday the 25th. If you are going to be absent on Wednesday, please let me know. Please try on your uniform right away, as some may need shortening. We may be wearing our concert dress for our workshop on November 4th.
4. ATTENDANCE REMINDERS A reminder that if you are going to be absent, please email both Karen@cantabile.org, AND Elena or Shane. Remember that missed rehearsal time is impossible to get back – so we really need you there!
If your singer missed more than 2 rehearsals by Nov. 8th, he/she will be asked to meet with Elena for part check on the December concert repertoire.
5. ENROLLMENT CAMPAIGN
Cantabile founder and past director, Signe Boyer and I will be working over the next few months on a recruiting campaign for Cantabile. We will be sending posters and information to many of our schools. We need to get the word out about Cantabile! We are especially interested in placing our audition flyers for the spring semester in school newsletters in areas such as Palo Alto, Los Altos, Mountain View, Menlo Park, and Atherton. If you are interested in helping with this project, please let us know!
