Spring Concert: May 9, 2009

Our Spring concert will take place on Saturday, May 9, at the First United Methodist Church in Burbank, 700 North Glenoaks Blvd., at 7:30 PM. The concert is entitled ANOTHER NIGHT AT THE OPERA. Indeed the bulk of the music is from operas, including a medley from "Porgy and Bess," Verdi opera choruses and even an exciting choral version of that mock-operatic masterpiece by Freddy Mercury, "Bohemian Rhapsody," first featured on Queen's album, "A Night at the Opera." We're also honoring Henry Purcell's 350th with a performance of "Come Ye Sons of Art." Joining the bill will be our usual partners, the always beautiful Children's Choir of the Coburn School. If you're within the "sound of my voice," join us for an enjoyable evening of happy Spring music.

sorry to say we did not enjoy the first half of the concert last night. the first time in a long time I might add. first of all, with the trumpets playing, we could not hear anyone singing. was the first half only for soloists? one more commment, Bohemian Rhapsody could have been a bit faster. enjoy the children's choir more. sorry, not one of the best

A valiant and heartfelt effort by the chorale!

But the soloists, save a few, were a disaster.
