Dear Friends,
Tonight was the final rehearsal for our Mozart Concert next Sunday
Afternoon and it promises to be a stunner.
Sarah BARLOW who is playing the slow movement from the Clarinet Concerto
just melted our hearts. She did it from memory and was absolutely flawless.
God alone knows how she managed those very long breaths, especially seeing
as how she's about 8 months pregnant!!
Thye orchestra are playing "La Clemenza di Tito" Overture and Peter MANDER
is singing a well known aria from "Tbe Magic Flute".
Then the men from the Choral Society are singing a rousing rendition of the
Austrian National Anthem (in German of course) which was formerly
attributed to Mozart but is now known to have been written by Johann HOLZER.
After interval we are performing Mozart's glorious "Requiem" with soloists,
Suzanne DONALD, soprano, (who has recently returned from a number of years
in New York); Linlee WILLIAMS, contralto (Music teacher at Eltham High
School); Peter MANDER, tenor, and Nick STANSBIE, Baritone.
The conductor is the inspirational Willem van der VIS, who despite his
obviously Dutch surname, actually hails from Invercargill, New Zealand!
Everything went smoothly tonight and I came home, exhausted yet replete.
Come if you can - it'll be well worth the trip (2:00 p.m. Lydiard Street
Uniting Church, about AUS$25 :)
Love
David in Ballarat
