so this morning, bright and early (and in between 2 storm fronts, what timing!), some members of VFLA went out to Arroyo Vista Elementary School in South Pasadena to sing for the students, staff and even some parents.  much fun was had by all as we sang a short set of songs selected from our upcoming holiday concert (buy tickets! the concert’s Saturday!). the students were very attentive even though it was freezing and we were outdoors…many sang along as we did our last two songs, We Wish You a Merry Christmas and Jingle Bells.

thanks to everyone who participated, i think the kids had a good time!

posting some candids i took after the performance…

well, ok, not really pictures, unless you count the moving kind! Really, a crew came out to do some background before we perform on Christmas Eve at the Dorothy Chandler (all information that you may need can be found in the previous post by Lauren).

 anyway, here are a few pictures i snapped of the crew as they asked us what we all did for a living…

ok, internets, what have you been up to since…February?!?!!

we finished our 12th season (our june concert was fabulous! we had some of our favorite kids from Creative Planet School of the Arts sing and dance with us!) and are now up and running with our 13th season.

and since it’s #13, we’re doing something a little different this year: a holiday concert! yep, vox is decking the halls in december with our first (and quite possibly our only) concert celebrating the sounds of the season.  so while it’s a little strange to be rehearsing holiday music in october, we’re looking forward to spreading holiday cheer to you and yours!

for information and tickets please visit our website: www.voxfeminala.org.

so we’re using our collective bits of social networking and viral marketing and whatever else we can think of to get the word out about our upcoming stuff…

February 21, 2009:  An Intimate Gathering with Susan Egan

Treat yourself to a dazzling evening and support Vox at this fundraising extraordinaire!

For a $75 donation, you will join a select few at a lovely estate in Brentwood for a private performance by the Tony Award® nominated Belle of Broadway and acclaimed star of theatre, film, television, and music, Susan Egan.

Start your evening with drinks and hors d’ oeuvres and then sit back as Susan’s singing transports you to other worlds. Be among the first to experience the thrill as she debuts new repertoire and travel down memory lane as she treats you to some of the classic Broadway hits that she made famous. After the show, enjoy the intimate setting and learn more about Susan as she engages in a lively conversation with Vox’s Artistic Director, Dr. Iris Levine. It will be a night you’ll never forget!

Please hurry – only 75 may join us for this private viewing, so reserve your spot today for this once-in-a-lifetime event.

our concert ROCKED.  rachel york is awesome!  and we got a write up on broadwayworld.com.  the article:

Broadway’s leading lady, Rachel York (Les Miserables & Victor/Victoria), stepped in last minute for an ailing Broadway Belle, Susan Egan (Beauty & The Beast) for the standing room only crowd for VOX Femina’s SING-ULAR SENSATIONS tribute to Broadway on Saturday night in Los Angele’s Zipper Hall.

In the age old adage of the show must go on, Ms. York not only brought the audience to their feet with thunderous applause on more than on occasion with “Don’t Rain On My Parade” (Jule Styne & Bob Merrill from Funny Girl), “I Dreamed a Dream” (Claude-Michel Schonberg & Alain Boubill from Les Miserables), and “Maybe Next Time” (John Kander & Fred Ebb from Chicago), but also left them in side splitting hysterics with brilliant impersonations of Streisand and her Broadway co-stars Julie Andrews and Liza Minnelli.

i’m off to class, but wanted to post an update so people might have something new to read should they happen upon our little world here.  anyway, as i said, rehearsal for our 12th season begins tonight, should be exciting and new (come aboard, we’re expecting you….) as well as old hat for some of us.

more later, maybe we’ll add a few new voices to our blog as well, that would be fun!

when i was in school, summers would come and go so quickly that it seemed we never got to start our vacation, let alone enjoy it.  now that i’m an “adult” (marked only by the number of years since i was born and the fact that i pay my own car insurance)  i find that once again, summer is speeding on by.  it’s already been three weeks since we returned from mexico and very soon we start auditions and rehearsals for our new season.

have you been to the vox website to see what’s up in the coming months?
