Oratorio online

I would never have suspected that presenting an Oratorio online would feel almost as complicated (and stressful) as doing it live!

On the one hand, while there’s a lot less people-organizing this way, there’s way less actual music-making as well. Which is hard because that’s the part that really feeds my soul.

And rather than preparations being spread out through months of rehearsal, we just spent a fairly intense few days (less than a week at any rate), going from idea to concept to figuring out execution in this brave new world of putting it all on-the-line, online!

I’m looking forward to turning on the computer tomorrow (Good Friday) at 7:30 pm; closing my eyes; and focusing on the music and nothing but the music. Ahhh…I can feel the bliss already!
