Schenectady, NY

Good morning all! How are we doing??Hope everyone's managing to wrap up warm as the Christmas temperatures settle in. Also, I hope that you're managing to fend off the colds and sniffles - I'm still battling with mine to be honest :(So five concerts in a row now, starting with the awesome Proctor's Theatre in Schenectady. I love this venue. Last time we were here, the crowd went nuts so I'm hoping for more of the same tonight. Two flights tomorrow, a masterclass, rehearsal and concert in Indianapolis, which should be a good test of our stamina! We're all thoroughly enjoying the start of our GOLD programmes - such a diversity of repertoire and all the GOLD commissions are AWESOME. I love getting to grips with new music and unlocking what the composers really want from their dots. Great fun.Ok must go and steam before attempting to sing anything the public will want to hear. I wish this cold would go away now!!Toodle-oo for now....
