Annual Conference

Dear Choir Federation members,
 
As you know, we will be singing the Gallos Opus 2 liturgy, primarily in English, for the 2021 conference. The conference is being held at St. Andrew's Greek Orthodox Church in South Bend, IN on October 8, 9,10, 2021.
 
The pandemic continues to rage on keeping our choirs on an extended hiatus. We also had to cancel our customary summer area rehearsals for the choir conference music. So, we have produced a set of rehearsal guide tracks for each voice of the Gallos Opus 2 Liturgy which you can download and begin rehearsing your part on your own until we can resume rehearsals once again. Directions and links are provided for you below.
 
The links are on Dropbox, and they contain audio file MP3s of the guide tracks, as well as a written guide to help you follow your individual parts. Please go to your part's link and download all the files. The links are as follows:

Of course, you will need a copy of the new Gallos Opus 2 liturgy that contains the original Greek and the new approved English translation. I urge you to order your book soon. We have negotiated VERY special pricing for the 3 ring hole punched version but the special pricing is only in effect through December 2020.
 
The special Chicago Federation order form is also attached for your convenience.  
 
Your directors have already received the supplemental music package.  All you will need is a 1 inch 3 ring black binder.
 
It's our hope this provides you with a bit of a connection to our church and liturgical music which have all missed singing over the last months.  We hope you take advantage of this product and ENJOY!
 
In His Service,
Nick Chimitris
