The Sunday afternoon schedule doesn’t make sense. How can the Collegium Musicum rehearse until 5:30 but play a concert at 4:00? And the choir doesn’t get to hear the band concert at 3:15 because they are in rehearsal until 3:45? Please explain how all this can work. Thanks!
Ah, yes. Thank you. the concert was originally in the evening, but now is in the afternoon to allow for travel. I’ll go in and make the schedules consistent.
Is this a yearly event?
It sounds like a great weekend but I can’t come this year?
No, we try to find a new location each time, to help spread the convenience around. The previous Weekend was in Waconia, MI. Weekends are modeled after Music on the Mountain.
