The final curtain has fallen on the Fete de Musique, and the Mesilla Valley Chorale did wonderfully. Nancy tells the story of an accomplished cellist who remarked once "Perfection is boring." Well, we certainly weren't boring, but if I may speak for others I think we did very well, and the crowd was again incredibly appreciative. This has been the experience of a lifetime for many. Above, Jean Picoleau conducts the combined Mesilla Valley Chorale and the Chorale de Savigne. After the MVC finished their program (the same one from the Rio Grande in May), Nancy invited the singers from Savigne to join us on the stage and sing three songs, including "For the Love of Music," the MVC 'signature' song. It is still somewhat unbelievable how gracious everyone has been!Below, Nancy conducts the MVC in a rousing rendition of "Distant Land." Below that is a video of part of the performance, a short excerpt from "Picnic of the World."
