Welcome and Refreshments
A word from Lauri Goldenhersch of Lauri's List about current trends in classical singing and the niche for mature singers. Sister-Singer Swap Meet This variation on the icebreaker will allow us to market other gifts and talents to each other. Bring your business card or your idea and tell us what else you're doing. One of us might need just what you're offering or know someone who knows someone...We'll have a resource table set up between the meeting rooms, where a silent swap will continue all day. Financial Planning for Artists with Jen Mulder In a part-lecture and part-workshop hour, Jen discusses the realities of work and retirement in the early 21st century and prompts us to consider smart ways of working as we grow older. The workshop portion of Jen's presentation introduces "money scripts," ways of thinking that both help and hinder our earning power. Learn more about Jen at http://www.jenlmulder.com/. Gratitude We'll take a moment to recognize those among us who have been pioneers in L.A. classical music. If you would like to add a name to the list, please submit it on our blog. LUNCH Throughout the day we'll provide light refreshments. Please bring a lunch to enjoy on the plaza, in the cloister or in the rooftop garden. Homeopathy and Vocal Health Many of us know Monika Bruckner as a gifted mezzo-soprano, now in her tenth season with the Los Angeles Master Chorale. Monika is also a trained homeopath who works with singers toward cultivating and restoring vocal health. A word from your web administrator: anyone with so gorgeous an instrument, who sings as well as Monika does, can tell me how to take care of my voice! For Monika's bio http://weblicious.net/monikabruckner/index.html MASTER CLASS: Hormones and High Cs Speech and voice rehabilitation therapist Joanna Cazden will work with volunteers to demonstrate ways of adapting technique and promoting healthy vocal production. Joanna may give information about therapies that correct damaged chords, but if you need a course of treatment, please make arrangements to see Joanna or your physician outside of the retreat. For more about Joanna, see http://voiceofyourlife.com/cm/Home.html To participate in the master class, please e-mail Caroline a PDF of your music, [email protected], or post it on our blog. Our colleague Saundra Hall-Hill will be at the keyboard. Jam Session in the Sanctuary Just what it says! If you've enjoyed yourself and would like to stay on, join us in the sanctuary where we'll sing, sing, sing. Expect one choral piece. All instruments welcome! |
