Another Milestone- 800,000 Hits

Joey — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:00:52 +0000

It passed and I hadn’t even noticed (well til just now).

When I first started the blog I was elated to have 100 hits in a single day.

We’ve come a long way since then. The next milestone that will have a big impact in my mind is 1,000,000.

Unbelievable. We must be doing something right.

Woot!

Cape Ann Symphony Holiday Pops Concert Nov 28-29th

Joey — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:00:21 +0000

Holiday Pops Concert Just a Few Days Away!

Right after Thanksgiving, treat yourself to a musical night out November 28 at 8:00PM to hear the Cape Ann Symphony Holiday Pops concert. Or if you prefer, come November 29 to the Sunday matinee at 2:00 PM.

Symphony Singers Return

The concert will once again feature the 50-voice Cape Ann Symphony Singers. As an added bonus, one of its youngest members, soprano Gillian Hurst, will be singing Rejoice Greatly, a beautiful solo from Handel’s Messiah. She is a performer not to be missed!

About our young soloist

Gillian, a senior at Rockport High, recently performed as a soloist at the Koussevitzky Shed and Ozawa Hall while a student at Boston University’s Tanglewood Institute last summer. She had the lead role of Cenerentola in BUTI’s presentation of opera scenes from Rossini’s La Cenerentola. Gillian has just been accepted into the American Choral Directors Association’s Women’s Honors Choir to perform in Philadelphia at the ACDA Eastern Conference in February, 2010.

During her high school years, Gillian has had the honor of being accepted and performing with the MA North East District’s Honors Choirs and Symphony Hall Scholars All-State Honors choirs, performing solos at both.

Gillian will attend college next year to pursue her career as a classical singer. She is currently applying to a number of schools.
