Thursday 15th December Your Comenius blogger is back and on wi-fi! And I only wish you could share my writer's location. I am sitting in a beautiful little church in the middle of LIndesberg, listening -as always the sweetest sounds of the rehearsal for tonight's concert. Just now another Ave Maria has soared into the rafters. Now they are learning silent night in Swedish - a tricky task! So what have we been up to since we saw you all last at the concert? Oh and by the way, we have put the recording back onto Moodle for you to enjoy over Christmas. (username comenius and password c0nc3rt5). After a slightly delayed flight we shared a coach for the three hour drive to Lindesberg. Soon plunged into darkness - sunset is just before three- our little songbirds 'roosted' on their perches ooops seats and snoozed until we reached the hotel. 'Enough rest already to work !' declared Captain Bradley, and after a quick pizza, the High School had commandeered the conference room... and, yes, even a piano from down the corridor which had been quietly gathering dust, until of course our trusty captain espied it, was pianonapped with Nathan's help. Soon our voices were resounding through the hotel. 'On with your opera voices!', 'bit of James Bond in there','hold that phrase...breathe...now!' as we rehearsed and made the candles rattle as we hammered out the notes.
