Raleigh, North Carolina
A drive into the city on a chilly, windy Sunday afternoon
(last weekend) is well worth the effort..............when
it's to listen to someone special sing their heart out!
Granddaughter was performing with her high school
chorus and the North Carolina Master Chorale in
Bach's 'St. John Passion', sung in German.
This music telling the Easter story was really beautiful.
During the Intermission I was able to catch a quick shot
(only had my iPhone handy) of Jasmin up on stage.
There were approximately 270 voices in the combined
chorale and chorus, several excellent professional
operatic performers singing the solo parts,
and a great orchestra.
We loved it all and, even better news, is that Jasmin will
now have the opportunity to take voice lessons from the
lovely soprano soloist who performed that afternoon.
We are so excited for her........we've never had a soprano,
or any other lovely voice in the family.
And what did we do this weekend? Jasmin stayed over with
us and we spent time doing fun things such as shopping,
eating out, attending a neighbor's Saturday
night party..........and someone had fun
painting her nails!
