Monochromatic ATC – Green

Yes, in spring, the color we all long to see is green.  Here in upstate NY, I will be very happy when green replaces the brown – and, unfortunately, the occasional white – that is the outside right now.

Personalizing My Blog

Handel’s Messiah

Posted in Art, Just my Thoughts, tagged , , on 21 December 2008 | Leave a Comment »

The Binghamton Downtown Singers performance of Handel’s Messiah on December 20th was wonderful.  The four soloists - Brenda Dawe, soprano; Hilerie Klein Rensi, alto; Todd Geer, tenor; and Todd Robinson, bass/baritone – along with the musicians from Local 630 presented a performance that rivals any of this season’s Messiah performances.
Under the artistic direction of Alan Crabb, [...]
