We have now crammed in all our new things into our bags. Taking a 3 hour nap. Then off to the airport for our flights home. Signing off until the next tour. ... read more

Stunning performance under the stars tonight. Very mesningful to our singers: actually singing "Stars Tonight" under the stars. One last performance on tour. One last tour with EE. One last performance for our seniors. One last tour for our rising seniors. Plenty of tears - of bittersweet joy. Lots of emotion. And all this after a day exploring the ruins of Delphi.

Spectacular concert. What a memorable evening of music led by Emily Ellsworth with Anima,, Sarasota, and two Greek choirs. Sharing the stage, making music together is powerful. The house was packed. The audience included a group of kids from Village Philyros. What a wonderful reunion afterwards. We started our day at the pool with swimming and a a Greek pizza party. Oh what a day we have had. Packing and bed.in progress. ... read more
