Happy Belated Holidays!
Right before the holiday break in December I had the pleasure of attending the Pacific Chorale concert titled “’Tis The Season!” It was a fantastic concert featuring many holiday favorites including a sing-a-long of Handel’s Halleluiah Chorus.
What was especially fun about the concert though, in addition to the beautiful music, was seeing so many friends from arts-X-press! Vocal Music Instructor Brandon Brack sings in the tenor section and Vocal Music Spotlight Workshop Presenters Carver Cossey and Rob Istad both perform in the bass section.
Best by far, however, was seeing Hillary, arts-X-press alum from 2005 singing in the children’s chorus. And you might imagine my surprise when I saw Hillary listed in the program book as a soloist in the concert! Hillary sang a truly delightful solo during A Christmas Alleluia. I was so proud to see her taking creative risks and singing in front of such a large crowd. There must have been at least 1,000 people in the audience!
During intermission I was able to go backstage and get my picture taken with Hillary. I felt like her groupie! Please help me extend our arts-X-press congratulations to Hillary on her awesome performance!
