One of the most dramatic parts of the day came early. It was the opening chorus by VOENA children’s choire from Benicia. Part spirit guides part drummers part greek chorus they were guided with the remarkable hand and violin of Annabelle Marie, a visionary leader who allows the children to explore and excel. There are some great recordings of the day that I am working to make shareable. For now we can content ourselves with photos of the vibrant youths.
