Powerfull moments, beautifully recreated in Longfellow's church, where the story full of goodness of the human spirit suddenly makes sense as a statement of faith.Global Commuterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11816015300206889093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644158760598157015.post-37959112671576509192011-03-01T11:26:23.088-05:002011-03-01T11:26:23.088-05:00Thank you for this review.

I have an idea or two about reprise performances, to be announced. <br /><br />We will release a CD of our Golden Legend production edited from rehearsal and February 26 and 27 performances. The editing/mastering process can take up to twelve months, though perhaps sooner in this case. <br /><br />Visit us at longfellowchorus.com for news of CD release and upcoming concerts.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />Charles Kaufmann, Artisitic Director<br />The Longfellow Chorus<br />PO Box 5133<br />Portland, Maine 04101<br />USA<br />director@longfellowchorus.comCharles Kaufmannhttp://www.longfellowchorus.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-644158760598157015.post-32175126403234301572011-02-27T21:53:54.356-05:002011-02-27T21:53:54.356-05:00Thank you so much for your kind words.
