Puccini in the Pines

George & Myrna Hill hosted a musical soiree at their cabin last Monday evening featuring Andrea Thornock (left) and Rochelle Thornock (at the piano). Rochelle and Andrea are the daughter and grandaughter of our founders Rulon and Ardeth Henderson. Andrea is a professional opera singer from Virgina as well as a music teacher there. Rochelle recently retired from teaching music. In attendance were George & Myrna Hill, Larry & Dororthy Hill, Barbara & Lyn Bidstrup, Jeff Livingston, and Debbie Davis.

In addition to a opera selections by Puccini and a German composer (can't remember his name), Andrea and Rochelle did a duet of the Lord's Prayer as well as other hymns. There was even a sing along. Andrea really showcased her remarkable range in the Broadway show tune "Summertime". We learned alot about opera and the long years of study and practice. What a beautiful setting for such beautiful music. Thanks Rochelle and Andrea for sharing your gift of music and the powerful spirit is brings.
