Well, I'm one person who's still not singing a Messiah solo this year
- my last one was in 1990!
I am, however, singing an Advent Vespers concert at the University of
Chicago on December 3 at 5:00 pm; a Christmas concert with Chicago
Choral Artists on December 9 and 16 at 8:00 pm and December 10 at 3:00
pm; a recital of Christmas and Winter-themed music by women composers
at the library in Park Ridge, IL on December 21 at 7:30; Christmas
caroling at Rock Creek Center in Lemont, IL on December 23 from 6:30
to 8:00 pm; and two Christmas eve services at two different churches
on, of course, Christmas Eve. (And for once, all paying gigs. Life is good!)
This is the first year I've ever had so many performances in the
second half of December. It certainly helps to spread them out a
little - not quite as frantic as some other years I remember!
It's fun to hear what everyone else is doing! Thanks for starting
this thread, Jocelyn!
