Heinz Chapel Choir Winter Concert 2009

After teaching all morning and having office hours for most of the afternoon, I joined Joe and Tina and Don for the Heinz Chapel Choir faculty winter concert. Such wonderful, delightful ensemble singing. Katie from choir and Evan, a former student, were familiar faces for me.

The program consisted of global music, namely from "Western" culture. All pieces, as were last year, were memorized by the group. They started out singing from the loft, moved to the side aisles, then sang from the front, then from the front and sides, then from the altar and choir stalls.

The program included organ solo pieces, choral pieces which divided the choir into various choruses, onomatopoetic sounds, and pieces with solos. The "Weather and Traffic Report" had props, and had the audience chortling.

All in all, a wonderful concert, enjoyed by all in attendance in the third row. We all expressed out pleasure in the concert to the choirmaster, Mr. Goldsmith.
