Hi, Everyone!
To our vocal registrants, please Note: Dr. Scott Peterson's father recently passed away, and Dr. Peterson will not be available to attend the Festival this summer. Our thoughts are with the Peterson family.
In trying to decide what to do, we requested guidance from many local people involved with the Festival’s vocal program, and we have reluctantly decided that at this late date, it would be best to cancel both Festival Chamber Chorale and Festival Chorus this summer. Dr. Peterson would like to return in 2009. We will consider continuing these choral groups next year if the interest is there.
In the meantime, the Festival Board would like to encourage vocal registrants to consider selecting other Festival classes. One Chamber Chorale registrant has decided to take the Athabascan Beadwork class – something she would never ‘find’ in her community!
A reminder to teachers: You can take Festival classes for UAF credit to renew your certificates! See page 15 in the catalog or refer to the Festival’s web site: www.fsaf.org Or, please call if you need further information. As a long-time educator, I know the value these classes would be to every teacher.
We're receiving lots of registrations! Except for Vladimir Zhikhartsev's Intermediate Watercolor class, there are openings in all classes with a maximum class size. Kade is very helpful in quickly noting - on the Festival's web site Registration Form - classes which are filled, so please use the the web site form when you register.
We are eager to help you, so please contact us if you have questions. The Festival opens in just three months!
Cheers,
Jo Ryman Scott
