Great Danes!

Some of you may have heard that I joined a choir here in Galway. It's true! Its Cois Cladaigh and it is a choir of about 40 men and women. I've been singing with them for about a month now, and we had our first concert last weekend! A Danish choir came to visit us for the night on their tour of Ireland. It was really interesting singing with them, especially because we were singing a) a song in Danish that I had never sung before and b) a version of Ave Maria arranged by their director! Both pieces were lovely, and the people were even nicer. One girl was quite talkative, but a little bit shy at the same time. And then they did their last song, a medley of spirituals again arranged by their director. And all of a sudden this girl just belted out a solo on these spirituals and all of our mouths dropped! She was really great, and you could tell she really loved singing.
The Danish Choir!
