OH! WHAT A WONDERFUL CONCERT!

Dear Friends,

How beautiful you were tonight and how wonderful you sounded! The concert was delightful and Bruce and I very much enjoyed it, as did the enthusiastic audience. Thank you to the members of the chorus who were so generous with their time and energy that the hall looked festive and lovely, and thank you to all who contributed and laid out the cookie reception, which was also generous and enjoyed by all. (The celery and carrots made the perfect ending to the sweets. ;-)

I'm looking forward to seeing you on January 10th when rehearsals begin again! (Remember to keep telling your talented friends about Una Vocé. If you want me to hear someone I can audition them on Tues, Jan 3rd at the Civic Center between 5 and 8 pm.)

If any of you have good pictures of the concert will you please share them with me?

Love and our best wishes for a very merry Christmas and a happy and joyful new year.

Linda

Linda H Walker

Linda began singing and playing the piano when she was only three years old. Her love of music began to blossom at age five, when she sang her first duet in church, singing the harmony part. She composed her first serious song at age ten, and became church organist at age twelve. As a teen, her love of music grew as she sang in and arranged the music for a delightful girl’s quartette that became quite famous throughout the Boise, Idaho area . After marriage, Linda continued her study of music, while teaching private voice in her home. When her children were grown, she combined her love of music with a love for the youth when, with her husband, she founded and directed both the Treasure Valley Children’s Chorus, and Treasure Valley Young Artists, teaching two hundred and fifty children each week. In addition, she directed two women’s choruses: Cantare Singers, in Ontario, Oregon; and Idaho’s Premier Women’s Chorus, Una Voce in Nampa, Idaho. During over eighteen years of directing and grooming countless ensembles, she personally arranged much of the music performed by her award-winning groups. A number of Linda’s delightful compositions have been published and more are in the process.

Bruce W Walker

A well known music teacher, conductor, adjudicator, and arranger, Bruce grew up in the Boise, Idaho area. After receiving Bachelors and Masters degrees in Music from BYU and BSU, he taught choral music, first in the public schools, then for fifteen years at the college level. He became renowned in the Northwest for taking ordinary singers and teaching them to perform extraordinarily. His choirs unfailingly received highest honors in festivals and national competitions. Service in his Church included various musical assignments, including directing two large multi-regional choirs. Much of his success with choruses is due to his gift for arranging music to enhance the abilities of the singers.
