Another Closing, Another Opening

So South Pacific is finally over, and now we can all relax and... what? Oh, yeah. This weekend is "A Mid-Columbia Christmas" with the Mid-Columbia Symphony - I am singing "O holy night" and Abigail Wright will be singing "Ave Maria," and the Mastersingers and children's chorus will be singing lots of Christmas carols, and there is an audience sing-along too, so we'll all get to share in the fun. Oh, yeah, and the following weekend is the Oratorio Chorus's presentation of Handel's Messiah, with Abigail and me again as soloists. Then we have a weekend off of performing to go see Mid-Columbia Ballet's Nutcracker and Tri-Cities Prep's A Christmas Carol. And wait, there's more! Get a final dose of pre-holiday cheer in a Big Band Christmas concert with the Mid-Columbia Mastersingers and Columbia Basin Jazz Orchestra. 'Tis the season!
