A taste of Völs

Today was a really good day which ended in great laughter.  I got to sing for Vladimir Chernov in a masterclass this morning, and he spent 2 hours with me, which was really fun and informative.  Then, I had a piano lesson, then normal Festival life with practicing and dinner, and then we took a bus to Prosels Castle in another town, where we heard gorgeous music, the second half being Vladimir Chernov ... then we missed the bus back to Vols!  We had gotten caught up taking photos, and realized we ought to get back to the bus, and as we were nearing it, it pulled away ... and despite me and another girl running after it (and me yelling for it to wait), there it went ... up, up, and away!  Thankfully, a nice fellow who heard us running after the bus drove us home (very fast, over very skinny, windy roads with hardly two lanes and a sheer cliff).  We ended the evening with such a nice reminder of the need for laughter and lightness.  Things are great here, but I really appreciated the light-heartedness of that experience for us.

Here is a little taste of Vols:
