Christmas Time!!!

December 1, 2005 at 1:53 AM

So much to do and so little time. Every night this week we have been preparing and Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights are the moment of truth. What, you may ask, have we been preparing for? Every year my college, Luther College, puts on a program known as Christmas at Luther. It involves our Symphony Orchestra and 6 of the 7 choirs (all in all around 700 muscians are involved). Every three years something very special happens, the performance is broadcast nationally via Public Television. This year is very special because apparently it will be on in some places in Europe. There are 5, 2+ hour performances in all. For those of you who have access to MPR it will be broadcast on there December 19th at 7:00PM, for those of you in Iowa who have access to IPTV it will be on December 21st at 7:00PM and December 25 at 10:00AM. In other areas check you local listings because it will be aired in December the week before Christmas. I encourage you all to watch or listen to it. It will be an amazing performance.

Thank you,
Andrew J. Paa

Hey Andrew-

My family and I watch that program every year around the holidays. It used to be my sister's thing because it used to be her dream to be in Nordic choir. But who can blame her? Perhaps you could point out where you sit so I could look for you? It'd be pretty slammin to be like 'I KNOW THAT GUY!'

I live in Iowa, too. Cedar Rapids, to be exact. So if you're ever in a cruch, I've always got room for a fellow violinist.
