Fabulous Friday Finale at EFCS

What a wonderful week it has been!!! Returning to Epworth Forest Choir School (now at Anderson University instead of in Webster, IN) has been a great experience. Experiencing the  conducting skills, spiritual depth and musical gifts of conductor Craig Courtney is an overwhelming  gift  of joy for me. The music that he writes and/or arranges  puts my heart and head into another plain of spirituality. The stories that he tells about the pieces that he writes make each piece personal. Every phrase tells a piece of the story. Every notation has meaning. Every note is special.

Our concert was tonight with the incredible Dr. Randy Frieling accompanist. Oh my! There is nothing more that I can say about his skills. Put Randy and Craig in the same "house" and you have music that makes the angels take notice.
