In the past two weeks both Genevieve and Isadora have provided fabulous Christmastime performances. Since our move (pretty literally given that the day after they arrived she had an audition) Evie has been singing soprano with the Strathmore Children's Chorus. For the winter concert she (and the rest of the Training Chorus) sang three songs, This Little Light of Mine, First Flakes and Velvet Shoes. Her favorite, however, was the song that was sang with over 300 voices at the end of the concert - Hallelujah Chorus. We've been working a bit on another Hallelujah too, the kind written by Leonard Cohen, and once that is performance ready we'll share it :) Unfortunately cameras and recording phones were not allowed in the theater for her songs...
Izzy's performance was closer to home. For about 6 weeks now she has been taking piano lessons with Miss Emily and for the past 3 weeks they have been preparing a secret song for her to play for us. Izzy was so into the secrecy that we all had to be downstairs whenever she had a lesson or when she practiced. She has a fantastic rapport with her teacher and is surprisingly motivated to practice (for 4-5 minutes at a time mind you). Because cameras and video recording were allowed in the theater here is the performance itself:
