I will be out of town on the 19th and can't go to this program, but I hope there's a good turnout. Those Debussy songs are gorgeous, which I know because I sang them many years ago.
Note the early start time of 7 p.m.

4 comments:
There's a misspelling: should be Bogoroditse Dyevo. The missing o is the stressed syllable, so it's important.
Bogoroditse means God-bearer, i.e. mother of God, and is the Church Slavonic translation of Theotokos, part of the title of Mary in the Eastern church. I think this form of the word is feminine in the vocative case: nominative case would end in "a". Dyevo means maiden or virgin, so the English for this would be "O virgin, mother of God..."
Did anyone get to see this?
I was in Chicago.
