Music To My Heart

Our local music school orchestras traditionally perform on the town square at the end of each school year. My family and I spent a lovely afternoon listening to young artists and music lovers - nothing beats a great tune for chasing away the blues!

I'm afraid I haven't brought my camera to the event - I prefer to listen to music rather than take photos, to be honest, so here's last year's photo from our music school website - just to give you an idea :) You can see my husband in the front row - green T-shirt, beard & glasses. And you can see my denim skirt :)

What I Did Last Friday Night

I sang. 

Our choir held its annual concert, 

an evening of love songs.

It was lovely. 

Especially with both my husband 
and my son being on stage as well :)

Jesus Christ Superstar By Bike

Last night's performance was absolutely amazing. Standing ovations and such... The leading roles were given to incredible singers, and the entire musical was just one long moment of pure pleasure for the senses.

The role of Jesus was performed by Alex Gaumond.

My husband and I enjoyed the evening immensely. It was open-air and we had a lovely warm summer evening. My husband works in the capital so he set off on his usual commute in the morning, and I followed in the afternoon, by bike (just under 40 miles)! It was sizzling hot and extremely windy so I arrived rather exhausted but I made it!

Definitely a day to remember :)

Our choir held its annual concert last Friday. The programme included a selection of Slovenian evergreens. It was lovely. A great time was had by all. The concert was followed by a party, details to follow : )  Just saying that a yummy Jubilee Cake was consumed and appreciated...

More Music!

Just got home from their concert.

Absolutely delighted!

Perpetuum Jazzile

Off to the concert tonight, with my Mum. Can't wait, they're incredible!

Check this! And enjoy!

Vocabella

I was going to do one last Breast Cancer Awareness post today but changed my mind after attending an absolutely fabulous concert in my hometown, together with my little girl. We'd been looking forward to seeing (and hearing...) these girls perform for quite a while now and tonight was the night - definitely worth the long wait!

Vocabella is a group of six young women from my hometown (most of them live here, anyway) - three of them are also members of our local choir. They are all incredibly talented and the project they have embarked on together is bearing rich fruit - in the form of tonight's concert.

The girls kindly invited the public to step into their world, which is a world of gospel and pop music. The group was accompanied by creme-de-la-creme of the town's musicians, joint together in an impromptu band for the evening - what more can you wish for?

If you wish to get to know them a little bit you are cordially invited to visit their homepage or find them on Facebook. If you want to hear them perform check these links on YouTube. The girls rock!

In Concert

The choir I sing in held its annual concert last Friday. It was a lovely evening. This is a picture of me on stage - not singing, though. Pictures of people performing are usually a bit funny, with our mouths open and things like that...

Our 'singing' uniform is black trousers/skirt and a black top, and the female part of the choir can add any colourful accessories we like (men wear coloured ties). This time I chose a gorgeous peony blossom I got at L'Occitane the other day and I wore a pair of gorgeous acid green high-heel sandals I borrowed from a friend - I'll post a pic of those as well!
