Decorated for the season

Sunday

We were at church twice today, in the morning as usual for service and bible study, then we were back in the afternoon for the second in the church’s concert series, today featuring
The Young Professionals Choral Collective of Cincinnati. YPCC believes in creating connections through choral music. The organisation was formed in Over the Rhine in November 2011 and is now made up of a roster of almost 2000 young people (!), with a passion for singing, who live and work throughout greater Cincinnati, ranging in age from 21 - 45. Each singer commits to a 6/7 week period during the year, so whenever you see the group (we have seen them once before), it is likely to be a different group of young people. Today, it was a group of about 25-30, and they gave a lovely presentation of Christmas music, including both traditional carols as well as many popular Christmas songs. They sang everything a capella and from memory, they had a really good sound, and were clearly enjoying themselves, as did the audience. It wasn’t the best of turn outs for the audience, no doubt in part due to there being two other Christmas concerts taking place the same afternoon!
