Chorale Lyrica Finale

So I heard through the grapevine that some of my European readers have been wishing I would  blog more about Margot's adventures (I'm looking at you "Mex Milbeam"). Well, your prayers are answered! This week's post is all about Margot's grande finale as part of Chorale Lyrica, a bilingual children's choir based just across the river in Hull, Quebec.

This past weekend was the spectacular Christmas finale of her choir, which was part of the 12th annual European Union Christmas Concert at the Notre Dame Basilica in Ottawa. It was an impressive event with a choirs from all over the city performing. And good on Margot, even though she didn't go on until 8:30 pm or so, she sang loud and clear along with the other children in her choir.

I think Margot's favourite part of the show was wearing high heels

December is truly "performance" season in our household. In addition to the Basilica show, Margot had a horse competition, dance show and another Christmas concert. I think we were pushing our luck a bit, but fortunately Margot was...mostly...good humoured about it all.

 The Chorale Lyrica show was my favourite of them all though. Perhaps it was the space, Margot's constant smile throughout the show, or just the sound of voices reverberating around the cathedral, but regardless, it made for a memorable evening and a great reminder of why the Christmas season can be so special.

Here's the link to the full performance (Margot's part starts around 1:17:00).
