STRASBOURG HOTLINE
First rehearsals got underway last weekend in Strasbourg for the December Camerata tour. Our stellar vocal soloists — Azéma, Harley, and Rentz-Moore (plus instrumental virtuosi Lazarevitch and Ansorg) will be backed up by sixteen distaff chorists from Mission Voix Alsace. It promises to be a terrific, three-concert tour.
In our photo, Anne (with hurdy gurdy) rehearses with the choral ensemble, as the early-autumn light pours into the Foyer des Etudiantes Catholiques. If you haven’t visited Strasbourg and Alsace when the sun is out, you haven’t lived…Hopla!
