I had an opportunity to perform at Carnegie Hall with the BMCC Downtown Chorus but because I was in Salzbur for the main rehearsals with he conductor and the orchestra, I did not. Instead, I got a free ticket to a balcony seat and thoroughly enjoyed the combined choir of 300 singers, conductor by Dr Anton Armstrong, perform Gabriel Faure's "Requiem." It was absolutely beautiful and even though I did not sing, I am happy to have been there to enjoy.
After the concert, my choir director, Dr Eugenia E Yau, and her husband Jose, took us to a nearby bar and we had some drinks and pizza, all compliments Jose. We all had a grand time relaxing with the knowledge of a job well done behind us.
Congratulations to all!Special thanks to Dr Yau and all her hard work in providing this awesome, once in a lifetime opportunity.
Let the party begin. Jon, Gianni and me.
