Yes you read that right. This past Sunday, March 9th, at 2 pm, I was a part of the National Sacred Honor Choir that performed in Carnegie Hall! It consisted of the choir from my school (Houghton College), Houghton alumni, singers from Liberty University, and a ton high school students from across the country. We sang Mozart’s Requiem (which is 45 minutes long…..); the Houghton College Choir sang Cantate Domine, written by our professor Dr. David Davies (and I played the percussion part in the professional orchestra!!!), and we sang Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy. I literally have no words for how amazing it was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I still haven’t fully recovered from the exhaustion of the past week, but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. XD
So now I am about halfway through my second semester of college, and being in an a cappella group has been amazing! Oh and a few of my friends and I have started a smaller a cappella group, We Sing Songs, and we are trying to upload videos on YouTube. We are pretty much in love with Pentatonix, and we have actually done one of their songs already! Stay tuned for links to our videos!
Oh and going off of We Sing Songs, our bass, Kevin, is a wonderful person with whom I am going to our school’s Spring Banquet! And our friendship is just kinda wonderful. More to come on that 😉
All in all, I’m just kind of in love with my college experience so far as a music ed major.
