      This is the third time my daughter and I have made Christmas at the Carillon part of our holiday tradition, and Monday night's concert proved why. The music was absolutely beautiful, with a mix of different genres that all complemented one another. It was a special treat to hear Patrice Pike, the guest musician, duet with Dr. Johnson, as their voices paired up perfectly on a song during the first part of the program dedicated to the theme of searching. The choir never ceases to amaze me with their perfect unison and vocal ability. The fact that they could make the Long Center sound like an intimate music hall certainly attests to their passion and love of this music. We left the theatre ready to start our Christmas celebrations! Collapse

      Last night, Dr. Johnson and the Conspirare choir invited the audience to listen and to breath with them. It was a lovely beginning to a hauntingly beautiful program, one which certainly commanded the listening attention of its audience and stopped the breath of many in attendance. The sheer technical perfection of this company of voices is, in itself, a marvel. The intricate weaving together of traditional carols, contemporary artists, and classic pieces was another piece of this incredible tapestry. The singers themselves sound like one big voice, and their love of the material is evident. The addition of Patrice Pike's beautifully weathered voice was a welcome one. Her original material blended seamlessly with the choir's voice, and her duet with Dr. Johnson was one of the highlights of the evening. During this busy season, it's nice to be reminded to listen and to breathe. Add to that the sheer beauty of Conspirare, and you have the perfect start to the holiday season. Collapse
