Blog? What blog? Last season we were so busy doing, there was little time to record it! Everything was positively magical, and I’d be hard pressed to rate them. So, since each is a winner, I’m giving them all #1. Here are a few which come immediately to mind:
#1 City Singers Children’s Choirs sings in Let it Snow with the Richmond Symphony, conducted by Erin Freeman.
#1 Attending a City Singers Children’s Choirs Civil War concert featured as #6 of Richmond Magazine’s “31 Things You Must Do in 2013” (December ’12) We’re in the top 13 of 2013..just sayin’…
#1 City Singers Children’s Choirs give December Caroling and Valentine’s Day performances at MCV’s palliative and heart units. Our singers learned about the power of song on those days.
#1 City Singers Children’s Choirs present Richmond debut of Legacy at Civil War and Emancipation Day, hosted by the Amercian Civil War Center at Historic Tredegar.
#1 Our choristers mastered a wide variety of music from and inspired by the Civil War and presented them in our two major concerts. Spirituals and folksongs of the enslaved Africans, parlor songs of the North and South, Appalachian folk hymns, patriotic battle songs, children’s game songs. With the help of the Virginia Historical Society and Dr. Jonathan White of Christopher Newport University City Singers Children’s Choirs presented two concerts of academic significance and moving beauty.
#1 We took our Civil War Songs on the road to DC and Gettysburg for the Civil War Sesquicentennial. Words. Cannot. Do. Justice. Awesome.
I could go on and on and on…but it’s time to look ahead! Won’t you join us for our next great adventure?
