Our May concerts went well (thanks for asking) and we've all had a chance to breathe and take a week off, so...as of tonight, we are officially in rehearsal for GALA! Yay!
Showing up at rehearsal tonight, I was excited to begin this journey. Although I have been with Voices Rising for a few years now, I was not around at the time of the last GALA in Montreal, so I am especially looking forward to my first GALA Festival.
As I looked around at rehearsal, I kept thinking "Wow, this is a lot of people--we absolutely don't look tiny". I am so happy that so many of our members have been able to find a way to commit to joining us at GALA, including a few that were convinced to join our ranks during or after our recent concerts--you go, girls. A 150-voice chorus we're not, but for a women's chorus making our first appearance there, we're impressive!
Robin is a second alto, the current president of the leadership team of Voices Rising, and the blog manager of this blog. She lives in the burbs and has an 8 year old daughter who does a marvelous and now near-famous imitation of Leora conducting!
