About the Event
The combined choirs of Michigan Tech perform Sergei Rachmaninoff's All-Night Vigil (Vespers). &nbsp;The piece consists of settings of texts taken from the Russian Orthodox All-night vigil ceremony. It has been praised as Rachmaninoff's finest achievement and "the greatest musical achievement of the Russian Orthodox Church" It was one of Rachmaninoff's two favorite compositions. (Wikipedia reference)&nbsp;
What do I do when volunteering at this event?
As a Volunteer Usher, you play a critical role in creating a joyful experience at arts events. Led by Rozsa staff, you and other Ushers work together to greet guests, admit folks into the theater, assist with seating and wayfinding, connect guests to venue accommodations, and support effective crowdflow and emergency procedures. Usher roles will be decided as a team at the beginning of the volunteer shift.
What do I wear and bring?
Wear clothes and shoes that you&rsquo;re comfortable in! Please make sure they are free from stains and tears. The Rozsa will provide a purple ushering bib-style apron to be worn over your clothes. You are welcome to bring a water bottle, and we encourage you to leave valuables at home.
How do I prepare for the event?
No experience is needed. All the training you need will take place the day of the show, before guests arrive.
Parking and arrival
Please arrive at or before the shift start time, and check in with the Front of House Lead at the shift start time. There is parking along the street and in the lot between St. Joseph Catholic Church and the Lake Linden schools.
