Tuesday, March 22
Once again our choir had a lovely day. We left Paris and drove to Amiens where we went to the Maison Pour Tous Cultural Centre for a workshop/concert with the children of the school. All of us loved to see their shining faces. They had so much fun joining in on our actions and music. It made us so proud that we did that for them. After the workshop we had a reception with the children and gave them our Canadian pins and post cards and shared our snacks.
We then had an opportunity to practice our commissioned piece Beaumont Hamel that we will be perfoming the world premiere of tomorrow. We love working with Jason Noble and having him on tour with us. It really is an experience we will never forget. Mr. O`Rourke gave a wonderful speech about the war and I think it touched all of our hearts. We cannot wait for tomorrow morning to go to Beaumont Hamel.
We are having some internet issues tonight so we will post pictures later or tomorrow.
