It's now May, 2011, and for the first time in many months, I have a moment or two free to add to my blog. Many things to mention! First, a few memories from January. Our Vespers concert was a big success. (I admit, until the first notes were sung, I was nervous if indeed an audience COULD sing along with the Monteverdi Vespers.) But after the concert, about 20 people insisted that we present a Monteverdi Vespers sing-along EVERY YEAR! So it does seem to have been an audience favorite. Next, a little over a week later ARTEK performed on a presenter's showcase at Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church (in the chapel). Below is a short video of the first piece. (What you didn't know if you were there: I just come back at 7:30 pm from a skating competition that took place earlier the same day in Massachusetts, and there was great merriment when I showed up in complete skating mufti with hairpiece, major stage makeup, etc. Most of my prep time was spent in the ladies' room, re-doing the look!)
Want to see that skating competition? Here's a link to Youtube:
