Touched by an Idea

The youngest SC (and 120 others)had an a capella workshop yesterday with The Idea of North
What an amazing concert then followed with 5 very different choirs, ranging from our fantastic Chanterelle to a small ensemble of Mick Rostrevor boys who may not have been perfect but who threw themselves into it with such enjoyment and enthusiasm that they were a joy to behold.
The Idea themselves are a fantastic ensemble of four singers, who obviously love working with kids and getting them enthused about it. I mean I suppose they get paid for it, but what they have to give is just incredible.
I heard SC whisper to L (who is TION's number 1 fan) "Best day of my life!"

Well done

Previous post (here) about Sarah's final recital gave one cause to rejoice. The results came in and she appears to have finished top of that group! She with (formerly 'un' but increasingly now) characteristic modesty, naturally felt her friend Liana did as well if not better. The singers of course are all over the place and can't essentially be compared with each other, they are competing (if that is the right word) with themselves. So she has done well.
It was (to my doting mind) the Schumann that did it. I look forward to when she really has the emotional capacity to destroy people with the emotion of the Frauenliebe cycle...I will be the first to topple. But I am an easy target for my children!!
