...no, not Klaus von Dohnanyi, the composer Ernö or Ernst von Dohnányi (whose grandson is, incidentally, the Chief Conductor of the NDR Sinfonieorchester in Hamburg!! [/useless trivia of the day]).

The concert will be tonight at 7:30.
Will the altos be able to sing their parts? 
Will they manage to find a tuba for the Vaughan Williams - in which there are quite a number of tuba solos?  
Will there actually be someone there to hear the concert?
Will there be more people than the fifteen regulars who always attend service and some bored  random parents and husbands who have been dragged along?

The woes of a member of the Choral Society )

I hope we're going to do the piece justice - it is so beautiful! It has one of the most beautiful Kyries I have ever heard, so if someone finally bothers to record or perform it and you have the chance to hear it, do so! It's so beautiful.

Ah, well. Off to select a text to bring along to the Writing Society tomorrow...

*hugs* to all!
