It's been a minute...

Yes this is the name of a popular podcast and outdated cultural phrase, but seriously it's been a minute since I wrote on this blog. So much has happened in the choir and world over these weeks. We have had some personal tragedies, we have had some excellent guest conductors, we have grown and shared as an ensemble. We have all struggled with larger events in society; shootings, politics, and trying to figure out how to care for each other. I've said before this choir is made up of individuals who come together to create something larger than themselves. Over the next week as we make final preparations for our concert, I am reminded of the journey we go on each and every concert series, season, and over the life of this ensemble.
Singing, and singing well, has been a driving motivation for the group as well as focusing on being active members of the community. I have done one interview so far for this upcoming concert. More are coming. And I keep the idea of moving from Darkness to Light at the forefront of my mind. Really, this group moves from change to change, which can feel like Darkness, but hopefully it reflects a light and joy that comes uniquely from singing together. I am excited for tonight's rehearsal. I can wait for next week's energy and joy as we make final preparations and bring this music to life for the community.
