Wonderful week. Most restorative. It is 5 years since I first started teaching at Zeliv, and slowly but surely great friendships have developed. A great number of Czech and other students and colleagues have become friends for life, I am sure. What really made this year though, was taking Spouse and the Winks. It made everything seem so much more real to me! For the children it was a spectacularly wholesome experience, I think. (although they may have a rather unrealistic notion of life in Czech Republic, living in a monastery with lots of musicians, having their food served by monks and attending a kindergarten and childrens' events that included singing early music in a singularly un-dumbed-down sort of way. ) It was so splendid to have the whole family there. And how profoundly joyous to sing Faure, Smetana and Dvorak with Vincent playing after years of promising ourselves the treat!
Ahhh...
