Christmas music and musical organizations |

This post is probably very close to random thoughts. |
|
I went to a performance of Handel's Messiah last night and was |
|
WOW'ed as usual by the skills of Apollo's Fire. |
|
One thing struck me was that at least 5 of the musicians/singers |
|
were also actively involve with other professional groups in the |
|
area. We are talking about leaders/founders in several cases. |
|
I appreciate their working together and/or Apollo's Fire, being |
|
the largest group choosing the dates first and Quire and Les |
|
Delice choosing others to avoid conflicts. |
|
You see, last Thursday was when I went to the Quire concert for |
|
their Christmas program. |
|
How both Quire and Apollo's Fire do concerts is that they will |
|
do the same program multiple times in a long weekend at |
|
different venues scattered around the area. I think that the |
|
Messiah is being performed 5 times this week. I'm not sure |
|
about the other one because I'm not as faithful to them. |

This sounds wonderful! There's nothing like a live performance |
|
of the Messiah. :) |
|
I used to love going to Duke to hear their Christmas concert. |
|
Last times I went, it included Bach's Christmas Oratorio. And |
|
treats like "In the Bleak Midwinter", "Coventry Carol" and |
|
"Gaudete". So looking forward to hearing these again one day |
|
soon! |

That's one thing that I managed to miss in my NC years. And I |
|
was close by living in either Chapel Hill/Carrboro or Raleigh. |
|
My mouth is drooling. |
