Weekend Rehash
Sanity and sleep were both at a premium this week, but the results were well worth the effort.
The weekend (sort of) started early with a bit of a dream come true–I got to hear Chanticleer live in concert on Thursday. They don’t call themselves “An Orchestra of Voices” for nothing. Their blend and harmony was even more sublime in person than it is in some of my all-time favorite CDs. And the variety of music that they can sing is unbelievable. From Palestrina to Barber to English folk to American gospel…they can do them all with equal brilliance. Check ‘em out–here are some of my favorites.
On Saturday, I went up to Columbia and judged the mock trial competition of the Classical Conversations group. It was for a middle school group, and these 13-14 year olds did a very good job. A ton of potential in the offing, and I got to share some of my own trial ad experience.
On Sunday I found a new deli experience.
For those of you that have followed this blog for a while, you may remember my post on Brother Mahagoub’s death. I am overjoyed that Remember will now be supporting his family–you can read my update on Ambassadors: The Family of a Servant.
Today I found this little guy.
And tonight I’m going to see Expelled.
