We got word last night that we'd received a grant of 47K, which will pay for two of our concerts next year. This is hugely needed for a small, non-profit choir like ours. One of the concerts will include Arvo Part's Te Deum (ecstatic sigh) performed with the Chamber Orchestra, with whom we recently did Brahms' Requiem. The other, scheduled for October, will focus on two Scots composers, one a little-known monk from the Renaissance named Robert Carver, and the other contemporary, James MacMillan. It's an Ultimate Choir Geek program. I am really, really excited about this concert, too; we performed a couple of MacMillan's large works years ago, and I've been hoping to do more ever since.
