Chris may have spoken too soon in Friday’s blog. It was beautiful in Frankfurt, with cherry blossom and spring flowers in full bloom, and lovely warm sunshine. However it has definitely changed for the worse here in southern Germany. This morning in Münich I got up early to return our rental car, and it was covered in snow. By the time I reached a garage to re-fuel, the sun was trying to combat the cold wind. I know April is a time of sunshine and showers, but I do think the showers should not be of the frozen variety.We have had a great weekend with two further concerts following on from Friday’s visit to Frankfurt’s Alte Oper. On Saturday we were in Langenselbold, as guests of a local choir, the Chorforum Langenselbold. Our hosts, Michael and Christian Hintz, were so welcoming, and they managed to fill the venue with hundreds of choir singers from the area – always a great audience for us. Yesterday we sang in the beautiful Basilica in Weingarten, a huge and richly decorated Baroque monastery church, which stands on a hill above the town. The fine acoustics were perfect for our Pater Noster programme.We are now in Münich for a few days. Tomorrow three of us will lead a workshop day at the Akademischer Gesangverein München, and then on Wednesday we all perform at the Prinzregententheater. This concert features music from two of our recent CDs, Postcards and Great American Songbook – quite a contrast to Pater Noster.There may be plenty happening in the next few days, but today is relatively quiet. Our only official duty is a visit to Bavarian Radio for an interview in advance of tomorrow’s workshop. If you have a chance, listen in to BR Klassik at 21.00 when some of us will be on the nightly show U21. Johnny and Jules will be using their excellent German, but for any non-German speakers any remarks I might make be will be in English!
