CARMINA BURANA Carl ORFF
12 Dec 2019 aux Mureaux CARMINA BURANA Carl ORFF
On several Christmases in the United States in NYC and SF, I organized small groups of musicians and we visited hospitals and retirement homes for an hour or two and we sang Christmas carols and songs of Noël for the people who were obliged to spend the holiday away from home. On Christmas Eve 2019, we were 12 singers - and me - that sang at the Clinique de Maisons-Laffitte and the retirement home, Les Jardins D’Arcadie.
Extract from the Concert in which I sang with the Chamber Orchestra of France ("Orchestre de Chambre de France") in June 2012.
Handel Te Deum for Dettingen Concert I sang with three choirs and the Chamber Orchestra of France ("Orchestre de Chambre de France") in July, 2011.
