GOD AFTEN, Jo, Estet Kiva ‘nok, Wan an, Good Evening!

Today was a long day of rehearsals in the “Musikteatret” in Hostelbro. Everyone in Cabin A was awakened by the angelic face of Maureen Harvey. With a helping hand and a subtle threat, we were up by 8. We proceeded to the dining hall to eat breakfast with our Danish friends. The bus (no double decker today) brought us to the theatre for 3 hours before lunch – which consisted of sandwiches, juice and digestive cookies (the best part of every meal). After lunch we had a dress rehearsal for two hours, but many of us weren’t pleased with our performance. Our insightful choral scholars informed us that every weak dress rehearsal is followed by a fabulous concert and they were right! The concert went really well and it was great to work with such great people like Sana – the emcee and the international conductors. Tommy Parsley and Shannon Woodrow did us proud with their beautiful performance of “Let Me Fish Off Cape St. Mary’s”. Our girl, Melissa Murphy truly defined beauty in her solo in “Water” this evening. Christos Hatzis’ piece was incredible and all of the choirs sounded great, as per usual. We had a little competition when it came to uniforms, as the traditional Chinese outfits were colourful and creative……don’t worry, we all got plenty of pictures. After such a long day you would expect that we would be exhausted, but there was still plenty of mingling to be done. The day started with Harv and ended with Harv, when at 11:30 she wrangled us all back to our cabins.

Dear photo uploader,

We are glad to find this web page and that beautiful photos. In this way we could be a part of the choir’s life in Denmark.
Good luck to the choir.
