For post-Epiphany, we’re repeating the Britten Ceremony of Carols with harp accompaniment and additional vocal solos. The free concert is offered by the Scuola di Musica Giuseppe Verdi, and will be held in Venice:
- 6p, this Wednesday, January 9
- at the modest venue of the Foresteria Valdese, which is housed in the Palazzo Cavagnis (the Valdese Cultural Center)
The address is Castello 5170 it’s just over the bridge at the end of the Calle Santa Maria Formosa just off the Campo (not far from the famosa Mascareta).
I’d forgotten to mention the harpist in the previous announcement. Lei è bravissima, and it would be worth attending if only to enjoy her performance.
Although our harpist is professional, we are not; what we lack in polish…oh, we just love to sing. (Yesterday’s rehearsal went quite well, I would say…)
Bailey, lost your good wishes when I replaced the post. Grazie ancora, però!
I’m really, really sorry – but I’m not going to be able to make the concert! My releatives, that were to arrive on Monday, are now arriving tonight and I have to be at the airport.
Have a wonderful evening – I’m sure it will be a huge success.
Figurati – it was nice of you to have considered attending! Good luck at the airport, and enjoy your visitors.
