Music Review: Los Angeles Master Chorale: Lagrime di San Pietro (Tears of St. Peter)

    This was my first show at Krannert Center of the Performing Arts.

    I fell in love with the place the first time I stepped into the lobby for orientation. It was everything I can hope for for a performance arts venue in a school. Maybe even in a city. I doubt I have ever seen any other place that is better than this. Subsequently, I couldn’t stop myself from looking through the schedule and bought tickets to many performances ranging from symphony orchestra to theatre productions. I want to spend all my time there. Krannert Center of the Performing Arts is probably my favourite place on campus, or second to Main Library; I haven’t quite decided yet, but it is definitely a grand building with 4 wonderful theatres.

    To be honest, when I arrived at Foellinger Great Hall for Los Angeles Master Chorale: Lagrime di San Pietro (Tears of St. Peter), I did not even know I was about to watch a choir performance of spiritual music; there were priests in the audience. Earlier that afternoon, I was at Champaign Pride, and so now, with everyone else around me all dressed up, I immediately became very self-conscious of my casual wear and rainbow flag sticking out of my backpack.
