Willkommen! Bienvenue! Welcome!
The singers of Canto Armonico are well unterwegs in Germany. After a busy first three days overseas, we finally have landed in a small spot with a bit of time to stretch legs and lungs. We are currently staying in a small guesthouse at the end of a road closed for construction in the town of Wunstorf, maybe an hour away from Hanover. The 14 of us encountered many challenges getting to Germany and surviving the first weekend of intensive rehearsals with our conductor, Ulf Wellner, while battling jet lag, so we are happy to have two lovely and wildly successful concerts behind us. Today, we played tourist in the town of Bad Pyrmont, ate a lot of food, and are all quite "satt", satisfied.
More background information on this trip and all of the music and also the history of the cities we're visiting will be forthcoming, but for now, here is some music. Our new Canto Armonico soundcloud page can be found by clicking here. I have been sneakily recording sections of rehearsals and performances and will continue updating this page as the tour continues east toward our final stops in Leipzig and Dresden. As this week continues, I will have "guest" bloggers, so be sure to check the sign-off to see who is in fact sharing stories and pictures.
And now, after a long shower, a snack of leftover dunkel brot and frischkaese and mineralwasser, I bid you all goodnight, in the "sound of music" melody of course, even though we are not in Austria.
