Golden Gate had a fabulous set and gave one of the best performances at GALA.

The Seattle Women's Chorus and The Choral Project also had exceptional performances.

I attended "Our Legacy = Our Song" in the evening with many choruses performing.  It was a concert celebrating GALA's history through stories, photographs, narration and with music commisssioned by the choruses over the 30-year history.

Got back to the hotel about 11:30 p.m. - a very long day - I heard some glorious music today.
