Friends and Family Valentine's Concert - February 13, 2008

A week ago on February 13th the Evanston Civic Chorus shared their first performance of the year with family and friends at the Bear Town Restaurant.  Everyone took care of ordering their own meals and then enjoyed a short musical presentation in honor of Valentine's Day.  The Chorus sang four songs of love:
  • Fair Phyllis I Saw
  • Memories
  • Roses I Send to You
  • Unchained Melody

ECC Performs at Museum's "Between Fences" Reception - November 17, 2007


Last Saturday we were privileged to perform at the Depot for the opening reception of the "Between Fences" exhibit, which is showing at the Uinta County Museum.  In keeping with the theme, Kirk picked these songs for our performance:

Don't Fence Me In
Cool Water
Desperado
Wyoming

It was a very successful performance, thanks to a good turnout from the chorus members, a very receptive audience, and a little creativity by the "stage crew" right before the performance.  Shortly before it began, I discovered that the very old piano did not have a music rack.  I asked for some duct tape, it was provided, and I proceeded to create a piano rack by stuffing my jacket behind the keyboard lid and then taping it up.  I'm learning that to be the accompanist for a civic group means performing on a variety of instruments in many different settings.
