Please arrive early at our first rehearsal to collect your music from our Music Librarian, Aditi Gowri who will be located at the front of the church for MVS-supplied printed scores.
There will be approximately 15 pieces on the program this fall and will be available in a few different formats. Some have been purchased by MVS as e-licenses, which you can print for your own use, or use in digital format on your devices. Alternatively, published paper scores will be loaned to you and should be marked in light pencil, only. The published paper scores will also be made available in PDF format for those singing from digital devices.
Please print and bring with you the 6 e-licensed scores to the rehearsal. All current scores can be found at this link:

Trial” singers will be given enough pages to get through the first rehearsal. Please don't request e-score access yet, as it is a legal licensing requirement for us to limit access to choir members.
If you have decided to be a “paperless chorister” (or to make your own copies) please let us know at librarian8MVS@gmail.com so that we won’t worry about lending you printed scores.

Fees for the fall term (Sept. to Dec.): $150 for returning members or $110 introductory fee for newcomers to the choir. Remember, your fees should be paid before September 14th unless you are a new member wishing to try us out for one week before committing to MVS.
Fees can be paid either using Interac E-transfer or by cheque
The easiest way to do this is by Interac e-transfer to: mvs.choir@gmail.com
No password is required.
Please include the word “Fees” on the memo line.
If paying by cheque, the cheque is to be made out to ‘Musica Viva Singers’, and can be handed in to any Board Member at the first rehearsal.
The cheque can also be mailed in; to get the address, please contact:

Please advise your section leader if you have to miss a rehearsal. If a section is short (e.g. only a single sop-1) Scott would have the opportunity to delay rehearsing a piece that relies heavily on that section. So he must know in advance.
Your section leaders, who will advise Scott on your behalf, are:
Sopranos - Martha Nabatian
Altos - Kate Reekie
Tenors and Basses - Bill Osborne
The contact information for the section leads was distributed via e-mail.
