Lovin' the 'hood: Part 3

Hamilton has culture! One example is the newly-formed Hamilton Community Women's Ensemble, which I joined this fall. I've enjoyed rehearsing some lovely Christmas music with these ladies for an hour and a half on Monday evenings. It's a bonus that I can walk to the rehearsals, and it just feels so good to SING!

Anyway, Hamilton Presbyterian is the church that sponsors the ensemble, and also hosts a little concert series. Tonight I took the girls to hear a lady sing a program of Broadway musical numbers. The girls were SO good (even though they asked if it was over each time they heard applause), and it felt kind of nice to be doing something like that right in our neighborhood.

About half way through, Evelyn looked up, eyes wide, and pointed as she whispered, "Mommy! That lady's voice is so pretty, it's putting that man to sleep!"

Well, I've seen people fall asleep downtown at Meyerhoff Symphony Hall to the lovely sounds of the BSO, too. :)
