For those unfamiliar-

This is the best news I’ve heard all day!

What an honor.

I just got a Doctorate in Sacred Music. When I was a child I sang for the Vatican Boychor for 14 months til my voice changed. Just got done singing in Hawaii, New Zealand, South Africa, Poland, Germany, Portugal and Uruguay have fun that is so coool for you. Who are you singing with? Do you do any singing fr a church community- Mike

A Doctorate took a lot of work.

Ever since I first heard Monteverdi's 1610 Vespers at the age of 12, Renaissance and Baroque choral has been my absolute favorite form.

My home choir is Schola Cantorum of Silicon Valley (CA) https://scholacantorum.org/ with our next concert on May 31st.

However, the Carnegie Hall concert is with VivaLaMusica under the baton of Shulamit Hoffmann.
We have a pre-concert of the Mozart on June 1st in Los Altos, CA if anyone local wants to come and listen.

Sadly not many church choirs perform the music that was written for them these days.

I started the year with several performances of Beethoven's ninth, then Carmina Burana, Faure's Requiem, and now some spirituals and the Mozart to round out the year.

The requiem always gives me goosebumps.

Too bad about the Hamilton tickets though.

time at Carnegie Hall!

If not live for some reason, then after the fact. I recommend bookmarking it - and not just for this.

Thank you to my hosts D and JC for the first three days, with whom I saw Hamilton, and had some fine discussions ranging from art to physics and many other topics in between.

I also watched The Book of Mormon and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Then into rehearsal with the 6 other choirs that were making up the full 120 voices. We had been practicing via zoom, this was the first time together. Amazing how many mistakes we found in the various scores that people were using.

Sunday morning we met the orchestra for the first time, sang the whole work through as a final rehearsal. The performance that same Sunday afternoon. I still have parts of it ringing in my head.

Bravo to all who assisted in one of the most thrilling and proud moments of my musical career.
