The Bell’Arte Singers presented their concert for peace and remembrance last night. Our music director, Dr. Lee Willingham, carefully choreographed the singing, readings and even the choir movements to make, from what I heard anyway, a very moving concert for the audience. And it was gratifying to have a larger audience.

The concert was hard work for me as I (tried to) sing tenor. Reading music in the treble clef after many years of only reading in the bass clef took some adjustment. I consider myself good enough in the bass clef to, usually, match pitches to written notes. I had to re-orient my thinking for this concert. I still can’t hit the notes much above an F above middle C except in a quiet falsetto; however, I believe I contributed where I could.

Our next concert is December 10, 2005 at 8:00p at Grace Church on the Hill, 300 Lonsdale Road, Toronto. We’ll be singing with the York Region Childrens' Choir.
