Bella Musica Spring 2002 Season -- O Divine Earth Early Music of the Sacred and Secular

You have noticed (we hope) by now, that we have moved, & our rehearsals will now take place here at Grace North Church. We are excited about this new location, as Grace North has a better acoustic space, is wheelchair-accessible, and is more economical for us than our former location. The one downside is that parking will be tighter. We are trying to make arrangements with local businesses to host our cars, but in the meantime, you may want to try to carpool. The roster will be out soon, & may help you to determine who lives in your neighborhood.

Registration: If you are not pre-registered, please proceed to the registration table and fill out a registration form. The $85 fee covers tuition only (music is separate). This fee covers a small portion of our expenses.

If the student/low-income tuition of $35 is beyond your means, please contact a registrar to arrange for a full or partial scholarship. NO ONE will be turned away for lack of funds.

Attendance: We really rely on your presence at each rehearsal. If you MUST miss a rehearsal, please notify your section leader. (Sopranos: Lyrie, Altos: Jody, Tenors: Jordan, Basses: Tom)

New Singers: Welcome! Please take a look at our special information for new singers
