Today I am conducting a choir of 200 in a concert at the Three Choirs Festival - with an audience of about 900 so far, and there will be more as lots of people buy on the door.

I have rehearsals all afternoon; then the concert in the evening, and I will be on my knees as my stamina is poor.

None of my family are able to come - they are working, breast feeding or have PD (my OH) - so I have no-one there who is rooting for me.

So........please think of me this evening and wish me luck!!

Best of luck, deep breath, and show them what you can do.

I wish you the very best of luck for this evening Luckygirl although as your name suggests you probably won't need it and you will sail through.

Most importantly. I hope you thoroughly enjoy it. smile

Break a leg ...... will be thinking of you! smile

Luckygirl We will be thinking of you and sending strong vibes.

What are you singing?

Luckygirl Sat 01-Aug-15 10:45:49

Thank you so much - it is lovely to have all this support in the absence of a family presence - it means a great deal to me.

What are we singing?........a whole raft of different songs, folks songs from Romania and Britain, gospel songs. Songs from all different eras. And a commissioned work from Pete Churchill, who is professor of jazz at the Royal Academy. It is a 20 minute work on the theme of the immigration of Poles to this county in the aftermath of the war - it is quite emotional, and quite topical with the current problem of people wishing to shelter in our country at the moment.

I am conducting half the concert; and praying that the stress does not set off my heart arrhythmia. Fingers crossed.

I've just been looking at the website. Looks an amazing festival. You must be very proud to be part of it.

soontobe Sat 01-Aug-15 11:10:45

Good luck! It will probably be phenomenal.

janeainsworth Sat 01-Aug-15 11:21:40

I wish I could be there Luckygirl!
I'm sure once you get into it you will relax and just be thinking too much about the music and enjoying it to feel nervous. x
