"California Girls" Tour: Day 2
Hello, again! Fully refreshed, the choir regrouped at the
Ferry Building in the famous Embarcadero district. As this is the first time
many of us have visited San Francisco, we made a pit stop at the Golden Gate
Bridge to snap some pictures at this breathtaking landmark rising out of the
mist.

At the Golden Gate Bridge Vista Point, native Californians
often stopped to ask us where we are from. Invariably, when we tell them that
we go to school in Massachusetts, they apologize for the “crappy” weather. And
we smile at them because this fog veiling San Francisco is quite manageable
compared to the winters we are accustomed to.

We reconvened at St.
Mark’s Lutheran Church, where we met Susan McMane, an accomplished conductor,
and an ensemble of twelve girls from the Young Women’s Chorus of San Francisco,
whom we were teaming up with for our concert tonight.

They were phenomenal to
perform alongside with; all of us were blown away by the unity and maturity of
their sound as an ensemble. We were also incredibly grateful to have the chance
to sing “Duo Seraphim” with Susan and her girls. Before we dove into our set
for the night, Dr. Graham conducted the ensemble from the Young Women’s Chorus
and us through a collaborative “Personent Hodie.” We had so much fun working
with and learning from these young women! Especially since this concert went so
well, I wonder what our next performance will be like?
