Another Requiem for another Spring Concert that has been lost to the new reality that universities/colleges/schools have been living in. Today would have been the Spring Concert of the Jefferson University Singers - 3:00 @ Ravenhill Chapel on the beautiful East Falls campus. This is a program that both the choir and I were so looking forward to bringing to listening ears. We had a wonderful, dedicated group this year and I look forward to transferring this good energy into next year’s music. A BIG “thank you” to the students and the faculty members who made up this year’s choir. I cannot wait to be safely together again and make the music that makes up such a large part of our lives – the beauty of singing with other humans in the same room. I also send regards and love to Ting Ting Wong, our collaborative pianist extraordinaire whom we are missing so much this semester. Finally, a huge “thank you” to our amazing madam president, Abigail Kern, who so enthusiastically and effortlessly keeps the ship sailing smoothly on many, many levels.
Choir…we will sing again and it will be so wonderful to be with you and to hear you!
