Chamber Singers in Madison

Tonight brought back memories from College, good and bad. My old college choir, the Kenyon College Chamber Singers, were in town tonight at a local church. Every year for spring break, the choir travels around the country for a week, giving concerts each evening. It was fun being in choir, I really enjoyed learning all the music and the choir sounded great, but also stressful, staying in a new location every night, being crowded on the bus, standing for two hours every night. Laura had heard the choir before when we went back for a Kenyon reunion, but this time the 2005 choir sang some of the songs from my years, Bach's Singet Dem Hern, Mata de Anima Sola, and others. We sat next to alum Matt Lavine, and enjoyed the concert; I was tapping my feet along with the music, and realized the notes for Bach were still etched in my brain from those 7 years ago. We met a few more alumni, and picked up a CD of the latest tour. It was good to see the directory Ben and his wife Kay again, they made the choir atmosphere very fun and inviting, and always kept up their spirits. We'll be on the lookout for tour dates next year!
