Lichtenfels Concert

Tonight brought another very good concert, this time in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Lichtenfels, Germany.

Warming up before the concert: MacKenzie Schroeder and Chelsea Carter

Some highlights:

Keyla Spahr's solo during "Darkness is Falling." I don't know if it was the great acoustics in the church or if she was just having a good night, but it sounded especially fantastic.

There were some rough spots in "Hosianna, dem Sohne David," when it seemed like people were missing their entrances, but I think it was a small enough issue that no one noticed.

The ending song, "Hark, I Hear the Harps Eternal," was really amazing from the back of the church. Lindsay and Sam said they heard some people getting off tempo and matching the others, but from where I was standing, it was incredible.


The audience loved the whole thing. They applauded after every song (even though Kathryn Duffy requests audiences not to do so) and gave the choir its second standing ovation this tour.



Tomorrow, we'll go to Nurnburg to eat lunch and then to Wolfratshausen where the choir will perform their last concert on the tour. After that, we'll drive to Munich for dinner and to spend our last night in Germany in a hotel there. We fly out so early on Monday morning, I don't even want to talk about it yet.
