After warming-up with Dr. Maclary, we made our way to the concert hall to begin rehearsal with Maestro Rilling and the orchestra.
There were no risers for us to stand on! So, NSO staff immediately guided us to the choir loft, where we rehearsed for the evening.
Remnant from Chamber Singers summer performances, Testudo's picture hung proudly next to the door that led into the loft.
We're singing this production in a four-row formation, but the KC's loft has two rows. We promptly re-arranged ourselves and began rehearsal in our temporary formation.
"It is very dangerous for this kind of music!" Maestro Rilling commented.
He continued to work on bringing out the music's meaning, but achieving rhythmic cohesiveness was also a primary objective of our rehearsal.
Rehearsal was good, but dress rehearsal will be great!
Auf wiedersehen!
