Thank You, Hirvo & Revalia!

The Bridge of Song Chor Leoni shared with Revalia this past Saturday was an amazing experience. The choirs met that afternoon to rehearse together, sing through some music together, and to sing for each other. It was an amazing experience to hear Revalia sing. Their inspiring conductor, Hirvo Surva, was also a joy to work with as he rehearsed us on the combined repertoire the two choirs would present that evening.

We opened the concert with both choirs singing Ave Maris Stella, an old Chor Leoni favourite arranged by Diane Loomer. For this performance of it we were conducted by baritone, Les Nerling. The following video on YouTube shows us rehearsing the piece, as well as Revalia singing a piece for the appreciative lions.

p.s. By the end of the evening's concert many of us were convinced that, though they are from Estonia, they are also from "Astoundia!"

Enjoy!
