Golda Channeling Eponine

 Charity, Jessica, Luke, Golda and their fabulous summer voice teacher, Jacqueline.  She is going back to CIM tomorrow to continue her master's in vocal performance.  Good luck, Jackie!

The snowglobe we had to leave at Dulles, just in case you wondered.  :(

I sortof recorded Golda singing "On My Own" from Les Miserables at her recital tonight.  I caught it all except for the first few seconds.  It is such a delight to hear her sing, and she did a wonderful job.  I cry every time I listen to Golda sing, even at her lessons, but especially when it's a tear-jerker like Eponine's big moment.  Les Miz is my favorite Broadway show, based on my favorite book of all time.

The recital was maybe the best I've been to.  It was delightfully short, every performer was polished and did a stellar job, and the refreshments were definitely above average.  Above Average is the Mouritsen way, whether you're talking about opera or chocolate chip cookies.  And we deserved both after surviving Back to School Night tonight.  Thanks for a great evening, all!

That was amazing Golda! Well done! I'm sad we missed the performance. We should have skipped back to school night. After all, if you've hear one disclosure shpeal, you've heard them all. Good job!
