New Saint Andrews Christmas Concert 2009

Psalm Sing

I recorded one of the recent Psalm Sing’s at Christ Church. Here are a few of the songs:

Last Disputatio of the Class of 2009!

Can you believe it? We just had our last Disputatio as a class at NSA?

God has been very good to us, allowing us to travel thus far. I am very grateful for such a wonderful class, and I hope we all keep in touch. To that affect, I plan to keep THIS blog going as a place where we as Alumni can come and keep getting NSA info, or see what’s going on in Moscow.

Here are the two videos I presented at Disputatio.

• The first is a slideshow of some photos I through together of our 4 years here. It is only a tiny sampler of all the photos I have!
• The second is a compilation of spliced videos from our 4 years. Again, only a sampler of what I have! I had to cut some GREAT stuff! (such as some of our declamations).

I uploaded a bunch of videos not shown here on a YouTube playlist called “Live in Moscow as an NSA student,” which you can find HERE

 

Enjoy!

The New Saint Andrews Spring Concert is up:

Dr. Erb did a wonderful job conducting and organizing the concert!  I believe that this is the largest choir in the Moscow region.

Represented were: the NSA choir, the Christ Church Adult Choir, the Christ Church Youth Choir and the Trinity Reformed Youth Choir.

The concert begins with the blowing of the horn calling the singers in – very impressive!

Orchestre Nationale de Lyon

We attended a concert from the Orchestre National de Lyon last night, directed by Jun Märkl. The music was by Haydn, Sains-Saëns, and Bartók. The first violinist was a girl named Julia Fischer, (only 21) who has been playing in Europe, Japan, and the US. She started playing at only four years old! She was playing on a Stradivarius from 1716 called "le Booth". It was absolutely beautiful! Unfortunantly, we missed the first part because we had gotten stuck in traffic, but we were there for the next two parts, which I think were the best anyway.
