Mormon Tabernacle Choir

A very thoughtful colleague who plays in the orchestra for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir gave me two tickets to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Christmas Concert last Saturday night. While the whole experience was an adventure (from taking Trax, to the Christmas lights on Temple Square, to dinner at the Lion House afterwards), what I most appreciated about it were the aesthetics of the experience. The design of the building is beautiful (I especially appreciated the textured walls and the captivating design of the ceiling). The scenery for the performance was nice, and they did a lovely job of using lighting, costuming, dancers, and scenery to contribute to the intimate and festive feel of the evening. My friend, Lucia, added the sparkle of her own personality to the event. The evening was a nice respite from the cares of my everyday world!

We had a great time. I was telling Mary Webb that we need to have a Williamston reunion over New Year's--except everyone I know already has plans. Maybe next year?!

I saw it later on T.V. as well. They really did a nice job of capturing the highlights of the concert in the T.V. broadcast! So you didn't miss too much! In fact, you were probably able to see it better than we were!
