DAY 7 - 12 JULY Our first performance at the Festival!

A fairly heavy rainstorm overnight into morning has cooled off Pärnu – woohoo!

Maestro Kaljuste is back with us in the Atelier rehearsal, pushing all of us to add the needed nuances, dynamics, and balance. We are all enjoying the hard musical work.

Following lunch, we rehearse again for our evening performance, iron our informal shirts (!), and enjoy free time in small groups of friends.

In the evening, we listen to lovely performances in Beach Park by a lively Estonian girl choir, a sweet children’s choir from Taiwan, a lovely Belgian young women’s choir. AYS is up next!

The audience bends in excitedly to hear us, getting more into it with each song – they are clapping along and singing with us on our last piece, Au Revoir les Bateaux!! The hard work during rehearsals has really paid off – beautiful solo and ensemble work, the best yet! Every Singer is proud and smiling, with new fans congratulating them for their wonderfully engaging performance. Can’t wait for the next one on DAY 9 :)

Tomorrow, a free day to relax and visit a farm museum!
