Yale singers light up sanctuary with a cappella performance. |
ANSONIA - I attended a wonderful concert with friends Saturday at Assumption Church.
The talented members of the Yale Russian Chorus, led by artistic director Mark Bailey, sang secular and sacred Slavic music to a small but approving audience in the sanctuary.
At the end of the concert they introduced themselves. The chorus is made up of undergraduate and graduate students, and it was interesting to learn what they are studying.
The members hail from as far away as Beijing, Los Angeles, and Sacramento, and as close as Harwinton, Darien, and North Haven.
We were surprised to be treated to a delicious dinner buffet in the church hall after the performance.
I want to publicly thank the church members who served us a variety of homemade hot and cold food.
Much appreciated!
It was the first time I had ever tried borscht, and it was delicious!
