Last night was the UEA Symphony Orchestra and Choir concert. It was held in Norwich Cathedral which is about 900 years old! It was a really neat experience to perform a concert there. Lisa, Mikayala, and two of my flatmates, Sonia and Harry, came to support me.

The programme was:
Gabrieli: Omens Gentes
Dvorak: Serenade for Strings Op.22
Dvorak: Te Deum
Martinu: Symphony No. 4

I played Cornetto on the Gabrieli and Trumpet on Dvorak's Te Deum and the Martinu.

HOTT DAMN this is a good looking Brass Section!!

Will, Sam, Me, Matt,

Rupert

Such a great Trumpet Section!!!

Does anyone know what a 'quaver' is?? I surley don't. Yesterday in choir we began working on our piece, Te Deum, by Dvorak, and the director kept saying that we would start after the quaver.  Apparently a quaver is a value of an eigth. I felt so dumb when I had to ask the girl next to me what the heck he was talking about!! She was probably thinking something along the lines to, "Dumb American".  It's okay.  She's going to be my bff choir buddy.  She just doesn't know it yet :)



A few days ago, I again had the famous English dish of Fish & Chips.  It was quite lovely.  :) 

P.S. Check out that cute tea cup in the background!!!

I had this dish at some random place at some random stop off the tube in the first few days that I got to the UK.  Which do you think looks better? The bottom picture or the top??
