Concert at St. Nicholas

Today we gave a concert at St. Nickolas Orthodox Church in Hermopolis.  The church was built in the late 1800s at the top of one of the hills of the city. The blue colored dome is clearly visible as you come into the harbor. Here's what the dome looks like on the inside...

The concert included our choir, a choir from Tennessee, and a children's choir from Paris and went off without a hitch.  But the best part of the evening happened AFTER the concert when our choir went down to the plateia (town plaza) to sing.  The French choir stopped to listen to us sing. By chance, we happened to sing a song that the French kids knew.  So we invited them to sing with us and sang it again!  Here's a picture of us sing with our new found French friends...

Tomorrow we spend all day preparing for our final "Concert Under the Stars" in the plateia on Sunday.  Be sure to look for tomorrow's blog because we have some pictures that you just won't believe!!!!
