Feelings Before the Concert...
Yesterday was the dress rehearsal for our anniversary concert, which will take place today, in a few hours... So I would like you to play this video while you read; this is not us, but it is part 5 of Ein deutsches Requiem by Brahms, where there is a Soprano solo that made me cry in the middle of the rehearsal, right behind the trumpet players of the orchestra where it is my turn to sing. I was very focused on the harmony and the lyrics, I have always said that as an artist I should not get carried away by feelings, but at least it was only a rehearsal and my colleagues were so focused as I was that they didn't notice.
The first reason for my moment of fragility: my dad... In fact almost all my moments of collapse nowadays are due to sad thoughts going through my mind, and there are several triggers. This work is a Requiem, it talks about death and harmony draws you several moments that we go through, those of us who live in mourning, despair, anger, love, sadness and even the peace that transmits the idea of paradise. In a couple of hours I have to get ready and go up on stage with my best gala, but today happiness will not be complete, I have that feeling.
Another reason that has me a little crestfallen is that I did not manage to get my mom to come to the concert, neither to this one, nor to the Pimpinela concert I told you about a few days ago, there are many things that prevent this from happening and I really moved heaven and earth to make it possible because tomorrow is Mother's Day and I wanted to start celebrating it in style from today. I also haven't seen my mom since February and Jhoxiris since January to hers, everyone's jobs haven't allowed it. I even got two free tickets in a good area of the theater for them, and now I'll have to find someone to give them to.
Generally I don't mind that my family is not at my choral concerts, it is something that has happened since 10 years ago when I moved to Caracas, and in fact my friends can't attend either for some reason, but there are times when I do feel a little sad, more special concerts than others. This is an anniversary concert and the energies are very high and I can guarantee that I am in my best professional moment. I went through many things to get to this point, now I do feel that I contribute to my string of tenors, I am no longer the boy who sang in the back row and was embarrassed to take out his voice because he compared me with the potential of the other singers, so maybe you can not identify me in these pictures, as they are from my first concert, I had only 16 days in the group, besides... I was very skinny 😅
Don't get me wrong, I am very inspired by the moment I am about to experience today, it is a source of joy for me, but yes I would have loved to share it with the people I love, my mom, my girl's mom, my brother. It comforts me to think that my dad is always in the audience now and that I'm not alone, so despite the feelings, today I will get ready, pray and save my tears to give my best on stage, even if I'm just one of the bunch, it doesn't matter. I will sing for myself and for those who are not physically present, but who I know will be connected with me. If any of you like to see something of the concert or listen to it live, they always broadcast it on the official instagram of the choir, it's at 5 pm in Venezuela, I'll leave you the link so you can follow and support us 😉

How are you dear friend @jesuslnrs good morning
I am very sorry that your mother could not be present at the concert, although I must say that she will only be absent in body, since in spirit she will be there connected through the heart.
I have lived away from home for a long time and I know what it's like to be away from your mother and the people we love.
Be sure that with your preparation and how professional you are, everything will be a true success.
Hello brother! Yes it was very good, I've even published a post of that day, and wow I was very sentimental, just as I predicted, I still spent Sunday with her, I would have liked to share the music, but I hope a good video of this concert will come out. Happy day, I send you a hug...
That moment when all emotions just hit you like ice water on your skin. Moments like this are to be treasured. And the song is very soul touching. I get why memories of your late dad and those of your family and friends who can't attend hit you.
You are doing so well, and I wish you success. Happy mothers Day to your mother in advance.
Thank you very much for all your good wishes here my dear. It was a day of mixed feelings, and in fact it was very different from what I imagined, but the music prevailed and was the great victor of Saturday. Happy to read you, I send you a sincere big hug...
You are welcome. It is nice knowing the music prevailed. Sending out a bigger hug as well. My regards to your family.
Hello @jesuslnrs
He who has passion and feels music in his heart, it is normal that there is music that makes him cry, especially if we are vulnerable thinking about the loss of a loved one.
I wish you much success in your presentation today.
Thank you my child. Well, as artists we must cause those feelings in the audience and have the gift to disguise them while we are on stage, the good thing is as I am in such a large chorus few could notice if a couple of tears come out hahaha. Happy day! 😘
I understand what you are going through, I went through it in another way, where in special moments my family could not be with me but if you read this before the concert, remember that they will be with my heart, even if physically your mother can't be there. And your father is always watching you. Just close your eyes and they will be with you. I wish you the best of luck!❤️
I did read you before the concert ❤️ Thank you very much 🙏 I still had the joy of seeing her and being with her the day after, I will have to wait for the official recording of the concert to be released to share it with her and even with you 😅
It doesn't matter if there are no pictures, this is great! Your mother is proud of you, it doesn't matter if she wasn't there, a mother's heart is always next to her children's heart.
