08 / 02 / 2010 - David

This morning we head to MPR (Minnesota Public Radio) to appear on "Performance Today". We have visited MPR many times over the years. It ran a marvellous live music show for many years called "St Paul Sunday Morning". Later we head to Moorhead to begin our three day visit to Concordia College. We will give a concert tomorrow night, for which we will be joined by the College's marvellous choir, under their director, Rene Clausen, to perform three works written for us in our 40th anniversary year; Eric Whitacre's "The Stolen Child" and Bob Chilcott's "High Flight" and "A Thanksgiving". On the following day we will record the works for an album on Signum that will be released next year. The producer of the recording is an old friend of the K'S, Steve Barnett, with whom we have worked on many occasions at MPR. Yesterday afternoon we sang in a lovely old theatre in St Cloud. We were able, during the show, to mark a significant birthday for Doug Anderson, our good friend and US tour sales representative. Doug travels to all our American concerts selling CDs and other great merchandise. He is a retired high school music director, and it is always great to have him along on the tours. We wish him many happy returns, and hope he enjoyed his birthday celebrations watching the Superbowl in a sports bar in St Cloud. Sadly we had leave after the show to drive through the snow to St Paul.
