Choir Concert

Tonight was the first choir concert I've had in a long time.  It's so much fun to make music with other people and I'm starting to find the joy in the sound of the strings, too.  I don't think I realized how burned out I'd become as a cellist; I hadn't really felt that way at all.  But feeling the joy of singing with others and finding new creative ways of approaching music in general has made me realize how boxed-in the experience of playing the cello had become in many regards.  Even though at the same time I was becoming a stronger and stronger orchestral cellist.  I'm excited about this new chapter of music making, of finding a musical voice in myriad ways which may in turn strengthen them all.
