Arrival in Lubeck


           Greetings from Germany!

           We arrived in Lubeck yesterday afternoon, a group of about 20 singers who traveled from Brooklyn, D.C., Austin, Baltimore and Boston.  Three cars.  Four guest houses.  There's beer to be drunk and music to be made.
     
         Some highlights so far:

        The bat that flew around the Jakobikirche as we sang Palestrina and Byrd.  "Fledermaus!" the opera fans cried, exercising our limited German.

         Anti-Muslim graffiti overwritten with the word "ANTIFA" in the alley outside our houses.

       This menu of "Things Spiritual."  It's not just a beer game in Lubeck.
   

A little slice of divinity:  On the flight to Dusseldorf, listening to Schlummert Ein as we descended through the clouds.  Air Berlin has Iestyn Davies' latest album.

That's all for now.  Bis bald!
