Resonance Info for our 2021/2022 Season
Welcome to our 2021-22 season with Resonance! Following last year's virtual season, this year we are excited to offer an additional option - in-person rehearsals! Our fall term will be similar to last year’s model - weekly rehearsals, music distributed electronically and a virtual concert in December. But we are excited to add the option of singers attending rehearsals in person at First United Church, in accordance with health and safety guidelines and protocols. We are also thrilled to welcome Kai Leung as this season's conductor!
Singers will be spaced six feet apart and masked throughout the rehearsal. Monday night rehearsals will also be live-streamed so people may attend virtually and still be included in our concert! We will be live-recording our concerts during rehearsals, so those who opt for in-person rehearsals will not need to submit tracks from home like last year. Singers participating online only can still submit tracks which will be electronically integrated into the live recorded performances.
When you register, please indicate if you choose in-person or remote rehearsals. Note that you are not locked into participating only the way you indicate in registration. As long as you communicate your intentions with us if/when they change.
In-person registration will be capped at 35 people. So be sure to mark it in your calendar when registration opens so you don't miss the opportunity to join!
In approving this model for our fall season, and out of an abundance of care for all of our members, the MFFC board made the following decision:
MFC and Resonance are known for the strong sense of community that the choirs have created: a community that values caring, respectfulness, responsibility, cooperation and safety. Our goal is to achieve this by offering hybrid rehearsals and an online concert. With this in mind, out of an abundance of caution and because singing remains a high-risk activity, MFFC’s Board of Directors has decided to require proof of full vaccination to attend in-person rehearsals, while continuing to provide an online option for members who would prefer to participate remotely or who are not vaccinated. Staff participating in in-person rehearsals are fully vaccinated. Physical proof of vaccination must be shown at the member’s first rehearsal for admission. Copies will not be filed or retained. This policy is for Term 1 only of the 2021-22 season, and will be re-evaluated for Term 2.
By live-streaming the rehearsals, we can offer a better learning environment for those rehearsing at home with full accompaniment at all rehearsals and the chance to hear the other parts, which so many of you missed last season. It also offers the option for those who sign up for in-person singing and feel unwell, and we can easily pivot to all online if the situation requires.
For those who sign up for in-person singing, you may choose to purchase a singer’s mask, which allows for more space in front of the mouth for sound production without increased aerosol spread. They can be ordered through most music stores such as Long & McQuade,
If attending in person, you will be required to provide proof of full vaccination. You may send a copy of your vaccination receipt to members@mississaugafestivalchoir.com to help facilitate a speedy sign-in at the first rehearsal, or you may show it to the board member at the sign-in table on Sept. 13. Proof of vaccination will NOT be retained or stored.
