Ed and I became engaged in April 1965 when we sang Ode to Joy with the Mendelssohn Choir of Pittsburgh with the great William Steinberg at the podium. We met in Mendelssohn Choir! We have performed it several times since with the Illinois State University Civic Chorale.
We will be performing it the end of October, Friday October 24th at 8 pm and on Sunday, October 26th at 3 pm. Two other singing groups from ISU will be joining us.
This link will take you to a fabulous performance -- Leonard Bernstein at the podium with the Vienna Philharmonic in 1979. Magnificent!!! Audio only. If you want to actually see the performance via YouTube, Google Leonard Bernstein, Vienna Philharmonic, Ode to Joy.
