We started this morning with a tour of Palau de Musica which is a famous concert hall that was actually funded and built by choral musicians of Barcelona many years ago. Stunning! Make sure to check the facebook page for pictures.
After an afternoon of last minute shopping for our friends and family, we have our final performance at the Barcelona Cathedral. Singing in this space was beyond our wildest dreams... We encouraged each other to really take a moment while we were singing to look out at the space and take it all in. What an experience! Watching the students faces as they gave their last performance was so touching. These students get it. They soaked it all in, and lived the moment.
We capped off our evening with our farewell dinner at Pobla Espagnole. This space was the location of the 1928 world fair. Very cool. We ate delicious food, and relished our last night together in Europe.
This has been a very full and incredible week of music, culture, and friendships. I couldn't be more proud of our students-these young men and women brought so much joy to people's lives this week with their singing and spirit. How lucky are we to know them and love them?!
Thank to all of our families and friends who helped get us here, and for always supporting us in our singing and growth as musicians and people.
It's time to sign off as the wake up call for the American flight is in just 2 hours. (!)
We will continue to update our travel statuses throughout the day, and you will see us soon!!!
