2025 Summer Sings (Two Separate Events)
The Octavo Singers will hold summer sings on July 21 and August 18 at 7:00 p.m. at Niskayuna Reformed Church, 3041 Troy Schenectady Road, Niskayuna. At the July summer sing, we will be previewing Hayden’s Mass in D Minor and Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms. For August, we will be previewing Holst’s The Cloud Messenger and Brahms’ Schicksalslied.
These informal rehearsals are open to everyone — returning and prospective members alike! At each event, we’ll sing through some of the pieces we’ve planned for our upcoming season, providing all attendees an opportunity to preview the music and giving prospective members a taste of what our regular rehearsals are like. Whether you’re a long-time member, thinking about joining, or just want to enjoy an evening of singing with others, our summer sings are for you!
There will be a $5 charge to cover expenses.
