Well folks, I haven't had a performance since February 19, and I didn't see ya'll there. So, here's your chance at redemption (in more ways than one).
I will be performing at the Ordway Center for the Performing Arts again. This performance is something everyone should see. Vocal Essence is performing Israel in Egypt with the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra. You can order tickets online or call 651-291-1144 to order from the box office.
Israel in Egypt is an amazing choral work. It's an oratorio, which makes its impact and drama heightened. An oratorio is basically an opera, but without all the staging. You can read the libretto in the above link. (It looks long, but it takes about 1 minute to read.) It's a powerful piece of work. Each time I sing it, it stirs something inside. Here's a few clips.
I think that it's very fitting to perform this in the season of Lent. It's a performance that everyone should attend.

Are you going to be a soloist in this performance?
Sadly, no. They have amazing people coming in to do the quartet.
Some day Douglas... some day.
Good blog, nice to be here.
