Tuesday, June 17
The Madrigals had a great time with their host families
and were well taken care of last night. Wonderful
comments were heard about the food each Madrigal
had for dinner and it was great to listen to the
stories about how each Madrigal tried to communicate
with their host family. Merci to all of the host
families!
We boarded the coach for an excursion to the lake
side town of Chamonix. This is another mid evil
town with many shops, food markets, a castle, cathedrals,
an ancient jail, and a beautiful lake. We had beautiful
weather for a day of shopping and exploring.
After our free time at Chamonix, we went to the
Andre Malraux concert hall in Nantua to begin preparing
for tonight's concert.
The adults in the group had dinner at a nearby restaurant
and celebrated Sir Arthur's 70th birthday.
Tonight's concert began with a set by the Nantua
Community Choir which is made up of many of the
Madrigal host families.
After a brief intermission, the Madrigals performed
their concert and even dedicated one piece to Art
and Peg Hill aka Sir Arthur and Lady Margaret. The
Madrigals did a great job and even sang above a
driving flash thunder storm.
After the reception, the host choir had a reception
and the Madrigals had more great French food.
