Give it a try- you might like it :D
Good choice for a calm and peaceful evening.

Her channel on YT says this is from Fiona Pears' concert at the Isaac Theatre Royal in Christchurch on 19th February 2011.
It's in New Zealand. So far away.

P.s. There should be more relevant thread somewhere.

Fiona is Brilliant!!! Would love to hear her play with Joshua Bell!!!!!!

Thank you all for the well wishes :) Still reeling from it, though it still feels like the right decision.

@symphonica: I want to make my career out of writing. I would like to work a steady job but so far none of my applications have led to an interview, that's why I think I have to start make more out of my freelance work, even though that's less secure... It's great that I get to think about what I would really want to do now, but also confusing - so many ideas, and not knowing which one will be succesful. But it will turn up for me in the end.

In the meantime I booked a short trip to London on the weekend of Pentecost. Hope to celebrate that feast at St. Philip's ;) and hear some other wonderful choirs again. And maybe catch a performance of Billy Elliot :)

Re Billy:

I would recommend seats in the Stalls. B15 - B21 first then B6 - B14 next. B1 - B5 is better than anything higher than
B22.

They are the cheapest seats but right at the front
If I’ve got owt to say I says it, and if I’ve got owt to ask I asks it.

Good luck maartendas! You are braver than me. Hopefully you'll be able to have some more fun while doing the freelance work.

Hope you have fun on your London trip, Maarten! May I come too? :D (haha, just kidding! But I'd give anything to go back to London, even if I wasn't going to see Libera!) Also, good luck with your career change, hope it goes well :)

Getting ready for the last day of school! Then a few parties this weekend! Then summer!!! Hopefully with a Libera tour in August.... :roll: ?

Billy Elliot is coming to Dallas and shows start next week. I'll probably go since I've heard nothing but rave reviews.
I'm going as well, most likely :D We'll be at Great Wolf Lodge in 2 weeks, and my mom's gonna try to get us tickets for one night, since we'll be right outside Dallas! If you go before me I'd love to know how it goes!
