Last February at the first practice with the children for the "Children of the Sea Choir" - who knew that we would be singing all over the place - with a country western band as well as in Arabic with musicians from all over the Middle East? Well KC and Arlene certainly...but the rest of us? Hardly. I will post more images from these performances later - but link to see the article about our gig at Arab World Festival on Saturday. The last weekend in August we are in Oshkosh - at the Opera House on Saturday - and on Sunday in Chicago at: Hamsa -- From the Middle East to Midwest Festival, Lincoln Park, La Salle and Stockton.
It is second nature to at this point to travel as a group and perform together -- black, white, and all shades in between - Muslim, Christian, Jewish...from the midwest, from Africa, from many places in the Middle East. It isn't until we get up in front of an audience that I remember (again) how wonderful a gift it is to be able to do this.
