Exploring Colorado

Norm's sister, her husband, Klaus, Norm's brother, Cleo, his wife Joyce.  They are exploring Colorado with us.  First stop Florissant Fossil Beds.  Amazing petrified tree stumps and stories of the area of the fossils they have found.  The people are not the fossils!

This is where we will sing Saturday evening. A massive, magnificent church, the Berliner Dom.

Luther Choral Festival in Berlin

One more rehearsal to go before the performance Saturday evening.  280 singers from the US have been working with Helmut Rilling on Bach's "Ein Fest Burg" and two Mendelssohn pieces, "Wir Glauben all an einen Gott" and the gorgeous, touching Psalm 42, "Wie der Hirsch schreit."  Beautiful.
