In January of '09 I wrote about an event that was put together by the community for budding musicians. An opportunity for professionals and students to meet and work together (http://activerain.com/blogsview/887356/Wenatchee-Should-be-Proud).
Last week a similar event happened but this was not exactly planned. Chanticleer (sp?) a 12 man vocal group from SF was at the Wenatchee Performing Arts Center. They were, in a word, FANTASTIC! I had never heard a male soprano (not falsetto). It was an opportunity that the roughly 500 people on hand really enjoyed.
After the performance the music teacher for Wenatchee High School, smuggled his acapella choir members back stage and had about a 20 minute impromptu music lesson for his charges from the group members...one on one and no interruptions.
Chanticleer should be commended and the teacher too. It was a great evening!
