concerts and corie de coro

'Twas concert season here in Bogotá. (Some teachers in Batuta call me Corie de Coro). What a joy to have been able to work with these bright and spirited children. In December, we had two really wonderful concerts with my Batuta choirs. The students sang beautifully for only having worked together for less that a month and a half (with one rehearsal a week). It was really nice to see that not only were the kids please with their very first choir concerts, but the community of parents and teachers were also pleasantly surprised by their kids ability to sing as a group, learn all these songs in different languages and put on a 'professional' concert. I think these pictures and their smiles are proof that there is so much potential here in Colombia. Can't wait to see where we go from here. The pictures in the museum are of the women's group I am in- we did a concert of Latin American music in a beautiful Museo- and the concert was sold out, which is always fun! <3
