A bit later we had a short string rehearsal with Mrs Robinson, and many bowing changes...
I have new strings as well means that I have to tune again every minute !
ROASTING in this sun! 27°C...
In the afternoon we went on a 2hour boat cruise. There was not too much to see, but it was nice and windy on the open back deck and we all had to kneel down when going under the bridges !
I sang "In Dreams" for the teachers.
For dinner we went to Wagamama.

On the next day our relaxed sleep in was followed by a 2hour rehearsal and a 2hour concert with our whole repertoire. It was so much fun! But already Melbourne is almost over...
Do you remember I told you about the Lunch-competition ? Well, we won !
As price we get a free dessert of whatever size !
A guy called Jimmy Passaro came and sang for us with his guitar, that was quite funny !
And Senior Chorale answered with "Oculi".

It is already the last day in Melbourne and we began it with a Brunch at a pancake-restaurant. Afterwards our group visited the Victoria Markets. We roamed huge halls and bought quite a lot in only 2hours (we didn't even get to see half of it !).
Back at the hostel we all got changed into our new clothes and started out for the Hamer Hall. There we were seated in the last row at the very top to watch the Fellowship of the Ring (from the Lod of the Rings trilogy) whilst the MSO played the Soundtrack live! Beautiful, amazing! How I wished to sing with them !
In Interval I went down to the stage, but no one was there anymore. I noticed that the first violin part looked quite easy... but it might have been only that page.
I was even allowed to go backstage afterwards to meet the artists, but the singer had already gone.
We reached the hostel only at 12.30pm that night.
That was the greatest concert ever !
