Tour

It is Friday evening.  I am sitting on my couch, drinking a glass of wine, eating some chocolate, watching a Stargate SG1.  My dissertation revisions are almost complete, and I am waiting to hear back from my advisor about next steps (and setting a defense date in March).

So that leads me to the next step: continuing to plan the semester.  And planning for our tour.  Yes!  Chorale is taking a tour of North Carolina.  Lots of music.  Some details need to be worked out yet, but it is quite exciting.

I have put together the program.  It includes Rorem, Persichetti, Holst, Paulus, Whitacre, Rachmaninoff, and Takach.  I am incredibly excited about the music.

It is a stretch for my singers, but I think it's going to be some very solid music making.

Additionally, my non-auditioned group is already sounding fantastic.  A full sound, ability to read, and quite ready to learn.
