Confitemini Domino - Simon Bolivar National Choir
It's been almost a month since our last concert at the venue, since we released our first Christmas album that brightened up our month of December so much. It's the last days of vacation, and I don't know how the rest of the guys are feeling, but I miss this place so much. Singing at the Simón Bolívar Hall was once a dream for me, and today it is a reality, it has become a second home, and although sometimes I wish I could sing more often in other places, there is a special mystique in the sound we have achieved here.
This video that I share with you at the beginning of the post is one of the many special moments that I have lived in the group and in the concert hall. It was the premiere of the work Confitemini Domino by the Venezuelan composer Miguel Astor, a musician who wrote one of the best books to learn harmony and who made my time at the university more pleasant, especially for that chair that can be a bit complicated. We premiered it on February 27, 2019 of 2019, I was barely going on two years as a chorale player, and I hadn't started my rough patch that started at the end of that year and ended last year when I married the woman I love, so it was my “Thirty and flirty and thriving” time 😅 I was singing in the corner, right in front of the audience in the front row, and my now wife was singing in the corner, across from me, but the first of the second row. I spent that whole concert sending her loving glances...
If it were not because I really know the sound of the group since before I belonged to it, I would think that the secret is the hall and its great acoustics, it really is a perfect place to make music as our work and that of the orchestra deserves, although it has evolved over time and now also presents more modern music and sound amplification, and wow it is not bad, when they made this temple for music was done with so much love and future projection that there are no limits. It is also very cold, and there is a lot of silence because not everyone can enter, so on long days where we have to wait between rehearsals or the time of a concert, I always choose to stay there and rest in their colorful seats, almost to the point of falling asleep.
I wish every person in my country had the opportunity to listen to a concert in this magical place, it really is a dream experience and there is no way to have a bad time here, not even that day when the man who thought and materialized this place, our Maestro José Antonio Abreu, died and whom we honored with a mass and live music, very sad with his coffin in the middle of the stage, that was also a special and meaningful moment. Everyone deserves to be in these seats and be rocked by the power of the organ that always seems to shoot the music into the audience. A powerful experience 🙏 I am already counting the days to come back to sing here once again...

How can you not miss being there and your job, that happens because you love what you do and it's not a job, it's a pleasure, so you feel that you are missing, because you are happy there. I'm so glad it's like that, not everyone has that possibility. Hugs!🤗
That's right, that's what happens, it's a pleasure for me to be. Some of my colleagues don't enjoy it as much, but for me it's living a dream. Thanks again friend 😘
Es tu vida y no todos tienen ese privilegio, sigue adelante!
