Sound of New England Chorus (continued)
A highlight of our mandated time apart was the virtual Region 1 contest. We want to thank Carla
Corcoran, Alex Chase, Carol McKenzie and Laura Pienkowski for getting our submission in to the
region so that SONE could be part of the festival.
We are delighted to welcome our new member, Marinka Koenis who is from the Netherlands. Marinka
moved to Connecticut from the Netherlands about three years ago after completing her PhD in
neuroscience. She is now doing post doctorate work as an academic researcher. Marinka says she is
very eager to get together on the risers again so she can sing in person! Amen to that!
SONE would like to express condolences to anyone in Region 1 who may have experienced personal
loss of friends or family due to Covid. Our hearts are with you – we will be thinking of all our
barbershop sisters as we sing “ How We Sang Today” at the end of each of our ZOOM sessions, our
hands out stretched as we virtually hold each other until we can be together again in song.
