Welcome to my first extended podcast. I recorded this podcast at a concert featuring the Northwest Girlchoir. You will hear sights and sounds backstage before the concert including interviews with some great professional musicians sharing their insight on music and performing, and interviews with singers from the choir. Some fun and rare insight into the joys of performing music during this holiday season in Seattle. Interviews from Dave Pascal, bassist; Chris Monroe, percussionist; Eric Chappelle, violinist; and pianists Dwight Beckmeyer, Christina Siemens and Heather Shih and singers from the Northwest Girlchoir.
