Last night, my a cappella ensemble, Spices, sang with OVation in our first — and we all agreed not our last — joint concert. It was great fun to spend the evening with other a cappella afficionados.

Each group sang some of our favorites for the other and fellow director Randi and I both found music to  … er … borrow from the other’s group. We ended the concert with a rollicking version of Higher & Higher featuring soloists from each group. Our enthusiastic audience — full of current and new fans (and some former Spices!) — gave us rave reviews.

After the concert, we headed to the church basement for a reception (where a kind soul snapped this photo of the majority of both our groups).

Tonight, it’s back to the Artists’ Quarter with singer friends Judi Donaghy and Michele Denise Michaels to perform with Jay Young and the Lyric Factory for another run at the works of Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson. If you missed this show, they say the third time’s the charm. If you’ve seen it before, we’ve added some tunes I know you’ll recognize! *wink*
