USA Gospel Tour: Day 5 - New York City Concert

Well what a day.......
Up early as ever and today and out by 8am - Monday in NYC is obviously a busy day so the traffic was not so easy. 8:30 saw us working with the innovative vocal group Choral Chameleon. This group are 'THE' New York up and coming vocal ensemble as reviewed in the New York Times. They came especially to work with us on our repertoire and vocal technique. Our students worked for 4 hours with the group who really took our singing to another level - it was a pleasure to be amongst such good musicians, some of whom I see being life long friends - as people, we never stop learning and today, adults and students alike learned huge amounts.
Lunch (we were totally in need of a break by 12pm) was at the Rockerfeller Centre - students had some free time and I met the choral director of Choral Chameleon to go over the evening concert.
This afternoon, we were able to go on the NBC Studios Tour and were able to see the working studios of 'Dr Oz' and 'Saturday Night Live' amongst others. Very cool indeed and this was enjoyed by all students.
6pm this evening we were back at the Unitarian Church on Lexington for a quick change and rehearsal and at 7pm we began our concert - complete with two pieces performed by Choral Chameleon.
The concert was excellent and were even joined by a St George's student (who was on vacation with her parents) for support..........
Today concluded with a 'Hard Rock Cafe' dinner in Times Square.
Tomorrow is our Statue of Liberty / 911 Memorial / Guided visit to New York day to be topped off with the 'Lion King' on Broadway and our last meal in NYC in Planet Hollywood......Below are the highlights.......
