From Matlock; thoughts and the first Elgar performance
Goodness it is lovely here! I am really enjoying just the feeling of fresh air - no doubt with the excitement of the concert still to come. There will likely be libations to the Gods of music and choirs afterwards and that should be fun - I allready have plans to delegat my designated driver status away perhaps. We shall see what I can arrange. Over at my Chyrping blog you can see about my wifi troubles! I shall be returning to this blog post after the concert, sobriety permitting and insomnia facilitating.
I am in a hotel lounge now and there is a conversation going on which I should join in - I shall publish and go and hope I can get some pics tomorrow (Google Arkwright mills and Matlock if you like for images). Actually i should have mentioned Alison Arkwright because we are staying in Alison House and it is superb! So beautiful here, like a complete rejujination for the senses. The venue for our singing was NOT inspiring, but apparently anywhere other than the school gym hall local to the area would have meant we could not fit the orchestra in! There was one awful moment in the concert when I left a dangling ESSss on a phrase and it was quiet and I am SURE someone MUST have heard me mess up... My current fear is that Stefan Reid will have noticed and mention it at rehearsal on Monday!
