Being Struck #1
I went for ‘AN Evening WIth Friends’ (ACJC choir) at the Esplanade Concert Hall with MElissa on Monday. It was actually really good, the performance by the choir. OUr seats were also good, unobstructed and thankfully the temperature in the concert hall was just nice as well. The whole performance was conducted by Mel’s cousin.
I was struck by the performance of one particular piece, ‘King Lily of the VAlley’. It was truly a beautiful piece that was performed with such controlled yet, emotive vocals that resonated within me. Truly a wonderful piece. The other performance was a more contempory piece, ‘The Way you Look Tonight’. This is one of the most sung and played song ever but, the choir managed to pull it off almost similar to the classic itself.
I really enjoyed the performance on MOnday night and I also noticed that the ACS/JC/I are truly a connected and well-supported bunch of people. Now I understand why parents want their kids in any part of AC.
