The Bible and Music

I thought this performance was amazing. I did not know exactly what it would be like but was interested to find out that the performance was done by the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir, Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra, Indianapolis Children’s Choir, and four opera singers. I think my favorite part of this performance was hearing the choir join in with the orchestra. The choir was loud and emotional and really added to the story of Elijah.

At our arrival at the Palladium we were given a brochure that had the words the choir and opera singers would be singing. This was extremely helpful because it was hard to actually hear the words that were being sung. The venue itself was beautiful, ornate, and intimate. There was a good crowd but it seemed that  anywhere you sat was still a good seat. The children’s choir was a nice surprise. They were in the balcony behind us and sang a couple parts. It was cool hearing the contrasting voices of the youth verse the adults that made up the choir. Overall I’m glad that I went and I feel more cultured after hearing it.

Cool side note – I know a soprano in the symphonic choir. Her son was on the middle school tennis team that I coach for.
