Message from the President
As we start into September, I must confirm that the Octavo Singers will be unable to perform a Fall concert, tentatively planned for November, due to the ongoing need to restrict activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Though this is a necessary decision to protect the safety of all, we will so miss gathering to make music with each other and share with our loyal audience. We are, of course, keeping abreast of information to determine when we can resume.
As most of you know, the Octavo Singers have been around since 1933 and have seen many challenges over these 87 years. I am confident that we will rise to this one. We’ll be back!
Take care all and stay safe.
Diane M. Deacon
President
