If you meet a member of that select club, the Chamber Singers, entering the Providence College chapel for their Monday and Thursday night rehearsals, you will observe, as they fall into their places, that each member has something unique about them. If (supposing that you have the star-defying audacity to address such a being) you ask one of them about themselves, they will most likely politely dismiss you in order to begin practice. You will then retire crushed. But you will leave behind you a mystery as yet unsolved and a tale worth telling.
The Providence Chamber Singers have been busying themselves with practice since September in preparation for this year's tour to Eastern Canada. Their journey has been one fraught with peril, excitment, disappointment, encouragement, and laughter. (Perhaps a bit too much laughter, as Dr. Henry Schellenberg, the choir's fearless leader, experiences on an almost daily basis.) This choir's journey began in September, but for you, fine readers, the journey begins now, under the whimsical writings of me, Nicky Letkeman. I trust, as you follow along, partake in our experiences on tour, and learn a lot more about the members of the choir (perhaps more than you want to know), you will be edified, heartened, and, perhaps, wanting to take a few music lessons yourself.
