November 11, 2007, Concert at the Basilica
Some of Cincinnati's best voices.
The May Festival Youth Chorus in concert with the Vocal Arts Ensemble.
The Basilica in Covington: Site of Vocal Arts Ensemble Fall Concert
Drake, Leah and Ann in the ticket line.
Dan takes a great picture!
Dan and Ann get to sit close.
Lots of stained glass.
Quite a crowded window.
Quite a crowded set of pews.
Emily (giving me the exasperated look) and others in the May Festival Youth
Chorus.
A holy water pool and a cute little umbrella.
The chorus arrives.
The ensemble launched in to a nine-part requiem.
I took a little walk. There's a Basilica store right across the street.
And a well-known local school.
Several police cars and an ambulance came screaming past!
Then I went back in time to enjoy the youth chorus.
Too far for a good photo, but that's Emily in the front row on the far left.
Then the two choruses sang together.
Emily and her friend Kara.
The crowd is slow to disburse.
As I was leaving I spotted this pope picture on a pillar.
