It's a brilliant piece. They both go well together. This is the second concert the Cathedral Bluffs Orchestra will have held at the Kew Beach United Church, the first one having taken place last September. Robert Raines, Cathedral Bluffs music director and principal conductor, said he's impressed with the Beach church, calling it one of the best he's ever performed in. They're made for choirs and they have a lot of wood.
Wood is a better synthetic vibrator of music.
Concrete doesn't vibrate. Roy Thomson Hall is having a big makeover and they are putting in a lot of wood. In a church, there are also a lot of stained-glass windows and it is a very warm place. He first saw his friend perform a Schumann concerto with the TSO when it visited Halifax under conductor Andrew Davis. There are so many technicians nowadays.
