Carnegie Hall at Last!

I feel like a kid with a new present.  I’ve just learned that I’ll be singing in Carnegie Hall in November, the Tuesday before Thanksgiving,  with the chorus of Anne Arundel Community College.  What a hoot — better old than never!  Bryan and I are so lucky to have such a wonderful school nearby, one of few if not the only community college in the country with an opera department.  We’ll sing a new piece by Eric Whitacre, one of my favorite composers; and we’ll be joining other choruses to make up a spectacular  chorus for his new piece,  “The Gift of the Magi”, in a new arrangement.  Four days in New York during the holiday season — what fun!  We’ll be meeting up with two grandchildren and their partners, celebrating with dinner and a Broadway show, “The Six”, about the six wives of Henry VIII.  Taking in the holiday scene.   Now if I just have the time and energy to memorize an entire score — yikes.  Lucky me!
