Thank you for your amazing performance at Merz Project tonite. That Octavio Paz piece was like soul food…tears, love, medicine. I will be following you guys….
Thanks for being there Kathy! Glad you enjoyed “a boy and a girl”. It is a great piece of music set to great poetry! Please keep in touch. Remember, we have concerts soon!
Great Christmas Concert (I caught the one at Brophy Chapel). Suggestion: the women (all look great) but in all black? Please gorgeous ladies some brighter outfits, especially for Christmas (love the rust colored drapes–above–at the other concerts). Also the programs we get are nice but when one goes to read the bios of all the Chorale singers please include a small pic, so we can tell who’s who with the bios. Thx so much..
Thanks for the input Philip. Headshots of the singers are actually already on our ‘to do’ list and we hope to have them in next season’s program. As far as attire, that’s up to Charles and the singers. I know the ladies love their new black jackets and I’ve heard that the orange stoles are a bit cumbersome to keep in place and somewhat restrictive for singing. Thanks for reading!
