Musings from the Maestra

It certainly has been an incredible week! I am so blessed to be able to make music with these fine women. They are strong, full of energy, creative, beautiful, and wise. Our performances have moved people to tears, utterances of "Wow - that's all I can say - wow," some standing ovations, even an encore or two. Click here to read a sample of the comments we have received from our audiences.

We've had opportunity to teach two high school groups one of our songs, have experienced the cultures of south Philly, Lancaster County, and NYC, have learned to know and appreciate each other so well, have laughed and cried together. One interesting observation from a director's point of view - just when you think everyone is having the same spiritual experience you are as you direct a concert, think again. Stories being shared on the bus indicate that other, more mundane things can be happening as other-worldly music is being sung. Things such as wondering how to get your sweaty bare foot unstuck from a large piece of paper as you dance and sway during "Denko," or figuring out how to surreptitiously get the long piece of hair out of your mouth that has somehow wandered in off of your head during a performance. What we don't go through for fine art... Final word: I am so lucky. These women are changing the world.
