Does the chorus rehearse weekly?
No. The IFC follows the European Festival Chorus tradition of rehearsals whereby music is distributed at the first rehearsal generally 4-6 weeks before a concert. There will then be one or two scheduled sectional rehearsals (men & women rehearsing separately from each other), small group rehearsals hosted by members of the chorus at a time convenient to them, and a week of intensive rehearsals immediately before a performance.
