Announcing... CPCU 2007 Summer Season!

Dear friends,
I am very pleased to announce the return of Denver’s unique summer community chorus, the Congress Park Choral Union (CPCU). Please take the time to download the CPCU informational flyer and consider joining us in this exciting venture.

We have designed CPCU to appeal to singers who are unable to commit to a year-long choral program, or are already too committed during the program year to consider participating in yet another chorus. Our unique one-month summer season of 6-8 rehearsals offers the opportunity to meet other musicians from the diverse community of Denver choruses, discover new musical repertoire, and broaden your experience of ensemble music-making.

Due to the sold-out success of last summer’s CPCU Debut Concert, the steering committee and I propose a second concert for the coming season — one concert on Friday, August 10, and a second on Sunday, August 12. The repertoire for this season will be just as eclectic, diverse, and imaginative as we experienced last year.

In addition to my sincere belief that singing should be fun, I also believe that singing should change lives; with this in mind, I have designed this season’s concert theme around social justice issues (hunger, poverty, homelessness). Appropriately, all of the concert proceeds will be donated to one local and one global charity working to alleviate hunger and poverty.

If you sang in CPCU last year, I hope you plan to sing with us again, and bring a along a friend or two — singers of all experience levels are welcome in CPCU! Whether you are a returning or new member, please take the time to RSVP by July 10, 2007, with your intention to participate. If you have any questions, I encourage you to email or call (303) 322-0784, x202.
