October Snow!

Just back from the weekend in Princeton visiting Al Holcomb and George Grace, where Al is the new chair of music education at Westminster Choir College.  Heard bits of both James Jordan’s and Joe Miller’s rehearsals, had a fantastic autumn dinner at One53, and hopped small towns on Saturday during the season’s first wet, heavy snowfall.

It’s been a busy fall with performances of Verdi and Puccini opera choruses with the Orlando Philharmonic, directed by Christopher Wilkins, a performance and recording of Milhaud’s Les Choephores with the university percussion ensemble, and the first ever vertical virtual choir project with singers from Maitland Middle School, Winter Park High School, and University of Central Florida Singers, featuring a new piece on Scott Lounsbury’s original poem for this project, E PLURIBUS CANTUS.  I’ll give all the details about this project when the video debuts with a public performance in December.
