Hi everybody!
The summer is hot and I hate it!
Yess! Honestly, I don't like summer months. I's hot and humid and takes away all my energy but thanks God, I have new pieces to study and learn. And where I am now, is a good place to be during summer months as it's windy during the hottest hours of the day.
And here's a short summary of what happened lately:
After we ended the season, I was really tired and needed a little break. So right after the last concert in İzmir, I took a bus to Bodrum, where we have a little stone house and simply unplugged myself. We stayed for some days there and that was really heaven!
In Istanbul, on the other hand, we had our end of season meeting as a whole choir and that also was a good one for we discussed about what to do next. And the biggest outcome of that meeting was the decision of applying to one of the greatest choral competitions of the world: Marktoberdorf Choral Competition in Germany! So from now on we will have another busy season and that's almost certain. I, on the other hand, am not sure if I am good enough to sing in that competition. So I'll see myself in the light of our rehearsals and decide about that. Our maestro has to cut some of us back anyway for the simple reason that the choirs can not be more that 32 singers. And we are 40! And plus! So some of us must be left home anyway. I'll see, we'll see...
We are starting our rehearsals coming Saturday! Tomorrow! Mid July! We'll have a full weekend to sing! And I can not wait for that! I'll miss the Saturday's one but still that's fine! I'll catch up the next day!
We have lots of plans, new projects and interesting ideas. Our maestro came up with really inspiring suggestions and this is why I love him so much. He never stops! His life is music and you can read that on his lovely young face!
So now I am waiting for our summer rehearsals with pleasure.
Bye for now!
