  • Houston Choral Society

     

     

     

    For the past two years I have been a member of the Houston Choral Society.  It is a community/professional choir that puts on four concerts each year for the public enjoyment.  I am the community part of the choir.  My daughter Emily would be more the professional part. 

    On Saturday night we had a 25th anniversary gala.  A fancy dinner and entertainment.  My husband and I were there.  We put on our fancy duds and spiffed ourselves up to look presentable.  I knew that mother-of-the-bride dress would come in handy for something.

    Emily and Art attended

    and Hannah and Chris joined us.

     

    We were joined by my friend Clara at our table.  My entire family has decided we need to adopt her.  Clara is quite fun and has a great sense of humor.  I have enjoyed her friendship.

    We had a fun time.  A steak dinner and fun entertainment as well as a silent auction filled the evening. 

    Emily and her friend Karen were the closing act and it was a hit.  It also was the best performance of the night.  And that's not just mom talking, everyone thought so.  They performed the song All That Jazz from the musical Chicago.

     

    Emily was quite happy to be "on stage", even if it was a small one.

    It was a really fun night even if I didn't win any of my silent auction items.  I had bid on a 1962 Mickey Mantle baseball card and various other little items.  Emily and Art were the only winners at our table with an autographed baseball (some Astros player) and a limited edition print from the Metropolitan Opera (a beautiful print).

  • Looks like a fun evening! I was just thinking this week how much I miss musical performance (and looking at my gnarled up carpenter/cowboy fingers wondering how I ever used to play flute). Glad to see Emily is still embracing her passion for music performance.

  • Fun family get-to-gether. Nice pictures.
