John Rutter's Requiem

On Sunday, November 4, I performed the John Rutter’s Requiem for choir and orchestra at First Presbyterian Church in Hickory, North Carolina. I love performing this beautiful choral work with such an outstandingly, beautiful harp part. The choir and musicians were wonderful and I was so pleased to be a part of such a beautiful performance!  Here is a YouTube clip of one of my favorite movements from the Requiem. 

Jaclyn & Patrick

Congratulations to Jaclyn and Patrick on their marriage! Jaclyn and Patrick were married on Saturday afternoon, October 27 at the Highgrove Estate in Fuquay Varina, North Carolina. For the prelude, I performed various classical and popular selections including Bach’s Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring, Debussy’s First Arabesque, and Arlen/Harburg’s Over the Rainbow. For the processional, I performed Pachelbel’s Canon in D for the seating of the mothers, Henson-Conant’s The Nightingale for the entrance of the bridal party, and Weiss/Peretti/Creatore’s Can’t Help Falling in Love for the entrance of the bride. For the recessional, I performed Purcell’s Trumpet Voluntary. I was honored to be a part of such a special wedding celebration on such a beautiful and breezy (thanks Hurricane Sandy) afternoon! Congratulations again to this beautiful couple on their gorgeous October wedding!
