I've noticed that March is always a month great for concerts, as people are starting to get out more after winter, musical groups and choirs are starting to perform their repertoire begun since Christmas, and Bach has his birthday (good for several performances in his honor!). Holy Week brings performances of "Messiah," and colleges start senior recitals.
With all the wonderful choices of music to hear it is extremely hard for me to CHOOSE!
I made a good decision yesterday, though.
My husband, son and I went to the second "Pipedreams" birthday bash---celebrating 30 years of the radio program.
It was at Wayzata Community Church, and there were eight organists, each playing something unusual for organ, or something relatively unknown.
Almost two hours of music, and very worthwhile.
I particularly enjoyed a piece from Iceland. It really evoked the land of fire and ice!
Tonight there is a concert at Orchestra Hall that is just too expensive for us to swing, ($54/ticket) but it would be great. One of Israel's foremost singers (Dudu Fisher) is giving a performance there. I'm sure it will be fun.
Next weekend my son will sing with the chapel choir at his college. We plan to attend, but in so doing will miss a rehearsal for another choir my husband and I sing in.
This is March madness, not of the basketball kind.
This smorgasbord of musical events is delectable, but frustrating!
A least the Northern Lights Chorale is performing in April. April 22. Sunday afternoon, 2:30. Benson Great Hall, Bethel University.
As far as I know, I am going to be playing a flute solo, opening a section of the concert. I'm a little nervous already, but it will be fine! My flute teacher, Mary Roberts Wilson, would be so happy! The old flute still gives joy.
I think it's going to be a really fine concert! Consider yourself invited!
