It's now definitely my answer to the "when and where would you want to time travel?" Caroline Shaw's pieces were my favorite, and I can't wait to get to know more of her music. And the Brooklyn Youth Chorus--so talented, so expressive, so moving. This is really a tremendous collaboration that showed a lot of trust on all sides. True to the BMC ethos, I suppose!ayseebeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02212469993138169793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658202452707400073.post-53215851022194822282014-11-22T22:54:36.764-05:002014-11-22T22:54:36.764-05:00The singing quality was superb.

The combination of singing, instrumental and visual was very rich.

I am always blown away by the talent of the Brooklyn Youth Chorus. They tackle such difficult music and not only do they sing it with beautiful articulation and nuance, but they even memorize it all. They are real pros and a pleasure to hear. I enjoyed their choreographed movements as well. I was impressed by each of the composers' pieces. Caroline Shaw's were my absolute favorite. It was great that Basil King could participate. I could have listened to more of his Black Mountain memories. In fact, I wish I could have studied at Black Mountain College. I am glad that a place like that once existed -- and I am glad that a place like BAM still does exist!CurlyVhttp://curlyv2.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658202452707400073.post-73965608652602111732014-11-21T18:41:48.977-05:002014-11-21T18:41:48.977-05:00As a parent of a chorister, it was all that more m...As a parent of a chorister, it was all that more meaningful and breathtaking! To finally see the fulfilment of so many months and hours of rehearsal, to actually feel as you were a participant in such an elaborate collaboration - it was extraordinary! Thank you Dianne and BYC for extending such a profound, artistic experience to us all!<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
