National hero(s) of Venezuela!

The choir arranged for a "visit" of Francisco de Miranda when we said thank you to Gustavo as our

hero and chief conductor last June. 

National flower of Venezuela.

Wild Swedish ones growing in our garden. "Nattviol"

Orchids!

Tickets booked!

Leaving Gothenburg on Oct 6. Going home on Oct 18. Bengt is going from Stockholm and Vlad from Vienna.

Looking forward! Now it's for real!

What to play?

There's so much good music for percussion to chose from! This is as far we've come in planning the programs for three concerts in Caracas and elsewhere. Starting in Borås and Gothenburg in September.
