Its been a long time since my last piano performance and it felt quite strange tonight when I performed the piano with the Edmonton Melody Choir Club at the UofA Convocation Hall. But I got through it with no significant errors...as always :)
This choir is also quite different from the other chinese choirs in Edmonton. Their conductor, Wing Lee Chen, is quite an accomplished musician and conductor and arranged the score to include drums, synthesizers and other midi sounds to give the folk songs a contemporary sound. The program was also stacked with many talented solo performances and I even met one of them who turned out to be a UofA music student. It was a fun and interesting night! This choir definitely has good potential. Until next time...July 10th!
On another note, did you know Alberta has an official song? I didn't. Its actually quite a catchy tune! You can listen to it or download the sheet music at: http://www.albertacentennial.ca/celebrations/alberta_song/
