Dr. Redding, our director for the performance, is an african-american choir director in Orlando Florida. He also probably has the strongest work ethic of any conductor I've ever rehearsed under. He was raised by a single mom and has three siblings, and all of them have done very well in their careers. Music was his saving grace, and it was a great morning rehearsal spent with him. The bond created was incredible, and I am very fortunate to have worked alongside this great, globally acclaimed director.
After a day in Limerick (detailed here), we had our first Irish pub food. Bobby Byrnes is incredible. their ice cream shop next door had the best vanilla ice cream ive ever had, which included a chocolate straw. they also had exquisite cauliflower, salmon, and coffee.
Given that it was now night time, it was time for our performance, alongside the Estonian Children's Radio Choir, the Josefinekoret choir from Norway, The Honor Choir from Texas, and several Irish choirs. We actualy received a lot of positive feedback from the Irish choirs for a job well done on our Irish songs and pronunciations. And, needless to say, the concert space was beautiful, too.
