Here’s a youtube video of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s “Bogoroditse Devo” I compiled from photos and videos I took at the Festival of Voices 2011 Concert on October 1, 2011. This was an outreach choral festival by the Master Chorale of Tampa bay, USF Chamber Singers and Women of the USF Collegiate Singers to hundreds of high school students in the Tampa Bay Area.
111001 – Photos taken during the Festival of Voices 2011 with the USF Chamber Singers, Women of the USF Collegiate Singers, the Master Chorale of Tampa Bay and hundreds of high school kids that made up the festival mixed chorus. I was performing here too so I wasn’t able to get a photo of the main choir.
So I attended Eric Whitacre’s one-day workshop, “Soaring Leap” at the University of Tampa’s Fletcher Lounge last Wednesday, January 11, 2012 and I had such a great time. The workshop was attended by around 100-120 people, more or less – choir singers, teachers, composers and hobbyists.
Can’t wait to be at Eric Whitacre’s “Soaring Leap”, a one-day workshop for singers, conductors and composers, tomorrow, January 11, 2012 at the University of Tampa! Eric Whitacre pioneered the “Virtual Choir” series that went viral on youtube. I saw this video long ago and I thought it was a brilliant idea!
I saw Villa Escudero for the first time in June, 2011 when my brother took me for lunch on our way to Batangas. At first sight, I fell in love with the place – the rustic views, good food in one-of-a-kind restaurant and the service was impeccable! Villa Escudero is located along the outskirts of San Pablo City, south of Manila through a two-hour drive through the countryside. It was (and still is) a coconut plantation owned by Don Placido Escudero, a famous Filipino agro-industrialist back in the 1880’s.

I added more photos to the homepage gallery of nhick.com . These are photos I took during my recent travels to the Philippines. I am hoping to add different gallery themes to this. Exciting! I am really loving this new Joomla! template!
