posting some candids i took after the performance…

For those of you who need to walk off your holiday meals, please join us for caroling! You can see us at our Pasadena concert, and remind yourself of some holiday lyrics before you join us caroling in Culver City with Tim Robbin’s The Actors Gang on December 19.

Ok, for those of you Westsiders who don’t go east of the 405, this is your opportunity to show your love for talented women who sing, and guess what? The collective love and joy is multiplied! Caroling is always my favorite part of December, bringing joy to people across different religions and cultural traditions.

So, as part of our obligations to the grant we received from the Los Angeles County we are required to post our events on their experienceLA.com site. In doing so, I was reminded on how cool this site is! Unlike Goldstar, it is full of events produces by folks who are just like us - small, non-profit, LA community based, arts organizations. You know how you are always saying “This city is so rich with cultural happenings! I gotta get me out to some!” ? Well, maybe that was just me saying that, but this is a great way to keep informed of what’s going on. Also - our concert is posted here, and there are some cool features like “set a reminder” or “sent an invite” that makes letting your people know about our event easy. So thank you LA County Arts Council, for making us do something kinda smart!

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

That’s right! A film crew from LA County’s Annual Holiday Celebration is coming to our rehearsal next Tuesday 11/10 to film us. (duh - that’s what film crews do) They are also going to interview some of us too! We think that the footage will be used to promote their event, but I’m not sure where. Hopefully on KCET!

For those of you who do not know about the  LA County’s Annual Holiday Celebration, it is most awesome! Since 1964 the Los Angeles County Arts Commission has produced a Holiday Celebration in the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion of the Music Center on December 24th. Admission is totally free! Also, it is a multi-cultural event performed by local LA arts organizations, which means you are apt to see some traditional Christmas stuff, and some more modern takes on the holiday. Last year a dance company performed a very interesting and fun interpretation of the Nutcracker Suite. I think there was a dinosaur involved. And what says Happy Holidays more than prehistoric creatures?

So if you are in town Christmas Eve, check it out! And stay tuned for more info on the filming.

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!

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.

that’s it for now, i’m sitting in the airport waiting for my flight to seattle.  hope to see you at our upcoming events!

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.
