On December 8th I attended my 2nd artist lecture for the semester. This one was extremely different than my experience at the previous one. This one was a short concert given by the UNH Chamber Singers. The group is consisted of around 15-20 students that study and perform sacred and secular works from the Renaissance to the present. In this performance they focused on the Renaissance period. It was definitely very different than what I had expected and had heard before.
I actually got there a little late since I was coming from class, which meant that they had already started and since I didn't want to disturb anyone I ended up watching the performance from the balcony above them. I'm actually kind of glad that that happened because I enjoyed the above perspective and the ability to watch the performers as well as many of the audience members, which again was mainly an older audience this time containing about 30 people.
The singing itself was extremely good and well practiced/rehearsed. All of the singers seemed pretty relaxed and comfortable, only a few seemed nervous. The voices blended well together and had a nice tone (to my untrained ears). The sound also carried well throughout the building. I think the layout of the museum helped this, and benefited the singers. It was definitely not my type of music, and I couldn't actually understand them due to the different language, but I think they put on a really good performance
