Dunava just sang as part of the Columbia Choirs Invitational Friendship Concert, in Seattle's Town Hall. Town Hall is a wonderful acoustic space, and we've never been there before. Among the five other choirs, all of whom sang traditional choral repertoire (my favorites were a Ugandan folksong and a piece by Morten Lauridson), we sure stuck out as the "different" group. But good different. Loud claps and shouts of bravo after nearly every song!
I am so proud of Dunava. Starting this group is still the best thing I've ever done.
Last night Orkestar RTW introduced Cafe Babel in Fremont to Balkan folk music. It was snowing throughout the Puget Sound, so we were worried about people coming -- but the dancers didn't let us down. We filled the place up, and at one point had at least 30 or so dancing around the tables in a line. The "new" people who had never danced a Lesno or Pravo before clearly had a great time!
Not a bad way to spend a weekend.
