Catching up with Maestro Glasscock before the recital in Segovia

Here is a quick update from Ember, Incantato's Junior Concert Manager, who checked in with the YPAS travelers on Saturday afternoon: I just got off the phone with Dr. Glasscock who sounded like he was about to fall asleep. He told me that everyone was at the hotel catching a little shut-eye before the transfer to the church of San Juan de los Caballeros. As per his request, the choir will have about an hour rehearsal in the afternoon to test out the acoustics. In the evening, the singers will get their first opportunity to perform in Spain by presenting an informal concert. This recital will take some of the pressure of and also a good sound-check for the highlight concert in Oviedo on March 29. Dr. Glasscock, although tired sounded excited and said that everything was going "swimmingly well".
San Juan de los Caballeros (pictured on the right) was once the place of burial of the leading families of Segovia. The church is now deconsecrated and occupied by the Museo Zuloaga featuring beautiful artwork.
