Tour: Abu Gosh (take 2) and Emek Hefer

We had our second performance at the Abu Gosh Vocal Music Festival today, with some different repertoire from yesterday. Again, another standing-room-only house, with very wonderful audience members! I'd post some pictures of the concert if I had them, but since I don't, here's a candid of us before our warm-up today.


After the concert, we again were met with such gracious responses. People told us thank you for doing what we do. It is so wonderful to get that kind of reaction! We've also apparently formed quite a little following here. People are anxious to get our tour programs and find out where our next concerts are, because they want to come! We've had many people say things like, "See you on Saturday!" We have groupies!

After the concert, we said goodbye to this place:


And headed to Emek Hefer where we met up with the Efroni Choir, lead by Maya Shavit. They fed us and we socialized:


And then they sang for us. They were great!


After the meet-and-greet we were divvied out to our different host families throughout the region. Tomorrow we'll all have separate activities depending on what our host families decide they'd like to do, and then we'll meet up again at 6:30 for a concert in Emek-Hefer. Then we're off to Bar'am! See you there!

OK, here goes,
we came to watch you guys on Tuesday 05/18/10, right after you landed and Im guessing you suffered from a big jet lag, we thought that if that's how you sound when you are tired than we have to watch you again, so.... we came again, today, saturday 05/22/10 and guess what? you sounded amazing and didnt let us down. Your performance of Misere is one of the best Ive ever heard!
Thank you for that.
The ending 'Circle of light' was so refreshing, you guys ROCK! I mean, CLASSIC, I mean... well, you know what I mean.
We love you and hope to see you again, soon.
