Two quick things I wanted to share today.
First, I really enjoyed just observing/listening to the broadcast today. As I didn't attend Thursday night's rehearsal, I wasn't eligible to sing in the broadcast. But every so often, it's nice to sit down where the audience sits and see the broadcast from their point of view. It's also fascinating to see how it all comes together from a technical standpoint--all the camera crew working in harmony to provide the myriad of shots and image angles; the support crew making sure the timing happens perfectly and the directors are given the info they need; the sound crew adjusting levels on hundreds of microphones.... the list goes on. That said, the music itself, along with the spoken word today that was all about loving our neighbors, was top notch.
Speaking of loving our neighbors, EVERYONE is invited to participate in this week's concert which is based on the theme LOVE THY NEIGHBOR. There are plenty of tickets left for those who are in the Utah area and want to see it in-person, either Friday night or Saturday night. The other option is to stream it--which you can do by going to the link above and scrolling down to the "Where to Watch" section.
Some have been asking who the special guest artist is for the concert--since traditionally there has been one. Interestingly enough, not much as been said about the guest artist for this concert--at least not to the choir directly. But on the page linked above, it does mention that there will be a baritone soloist joining us (Shea Owens) and I'm sure he'll do an amazing job.
The theme of this concert couldn't be more timely. Most of the conflicts, tragic events, political discord, disrespect, and divisiveness in the world today all have one thing in common: they believe in hating thy neighbor. The choir's hope is to counteract that by focusing on just the opposite. Please take some time to watch this concert and share its message with others--maybe focusing on those who are holding grudges, working through anger, or don't have a lot of light in their lives right now. We feel this concert can help.
Here's a quick trailer of what you may expect. Feel free to share!
Until next time, God be with you.
