Spring 2020
Dear friends of Another Octave:
We miss singing. And we miss you!
As many of you know, along with so much else in all of our lives, Another Octave’s spring concerts have been cancelled. The show was to have been a celebration of our 30th anniversary — three decades of building community through song and sharing our music with you.
Some of us currently in the chorus have been with Another Octave since the beginning; others were not even born when we made our first appearance in the spring of 1990. That we have remained together and grown stronger over three decades is a testimony to what the chorus means to us, and to the audiences we have been privileged to perform for.
As we look toward the future, we are turning to you to help us through the next uncertain months. Although we are not receiving revenue from ticket sales or fund-raising activities, many of our expenses — for instance, rental of our rehearsal and storage spaces — must still be met.
We have the opportunity to make up some of our lost income during The Great Give sponsored by the Community Foundation of Greater New Haven. We hope that you will be able to participate in this annual event, and support Another Octave with a donation that will help us continue to celebrate women’s lives through music.
Until we can be together again.
