Last night at Merrill Auditorium the in place monster organ was the chief provider and keynote of the concert. However as you look left you see the eleven ladies in the hand bell group, center is the municipal organist backed up by brass and look right to see youth. Right was an all girls vocal group. Visual and musical balance. The hundreds of visible pipes in the organ were supported by the hundreds more out of sight.
Standards and unique Christmas music. Fun sounds from the hand bells as the players rang and also used mallets. Brief but just right sing-a-long. The young choral group had one fun visual and musical tune.
Kathy and I enjoyed the event.
News - words - thoughts.
