Today our group did a 2-3 hr walking tour of Salzburg with tour of Mozart’s birthplace, and we ended it with the wonderful noon organ concert at the cathedral! I’ve included just a minute of the grand organ, the largest of the 5 in the church. The organist demonstrated 3 of the 5. It was wonderful to hear the differences in their sound! It was a fabulous morning!

In the afternoon we returned to Mirabelle gardens to perform our first concert, joined by our travel friends from Oklahoma, Missouri, and Texas for the Salzburger Festspiele where we are listed as the American Festival Choir! We are about 50-55 voices, singing to 1 electronic keyboard. We had a great gathering of listeners and I believe they enjoyed our music, all praising God!

More photos of the day are posted at our smugmug account. When we have some video of our performance I will post for you. Tomorrow we sing again!
