Elijah

Tonight was the St. Mark's Choral Society's performance of Mendelssohn's Elijah. Mom and Dad and Luther came to see Jo sing in the alto section. It was a good performance. Strong soloists, tidy little orchestra, and the Choral Society joined by the more-experienced Cathedral Singers of St. Mark's.

I enjoy singing in this choir. It's almost always a very satisfying experience. I get to participate in making music that I would never otherwise get to do. I think this is my sixth event with the outfit.

So now I have Monday nights free until mid-September.

P.S. Dad started rehearsals for this concert but then took a long trip to see his grandkids. Perhaps he can be in the next one.
