What a beautiful idea, Van! I wish I could be there to hear the final result of your creation plus the music.

I wish you could, too. I'm excited about the music as well. We're singing some of my all-time favourites, like "Shanendoah", "Danny Boy", and "All I Ask Of You" from Phantom of the Opera. We've had a strong start to the season and already have about half the music "off book" (by memory) with more than two months to go to the concert. We've given some good performances in recent years, but I'm fairly confident this will be our best ever. I feel quite privileged to have been given the role of writing the narrative.
