Wallet Stolen + Concerts

Wallet
I was eating lunch with my friend Melissa and I took out my wallet, paid, and set it on the table next to me. After a while I went to pick it up and it was gone. I thought I must have pushed it off the table accidentally, and we were sitting against the railing for a stairway going down, so I feared it had fallen downstairs. Melissa and I looked everywhere around the table and down the stairs and couldn't find it. The employees also helped but nothing was found. My only guess is that someone picked it up and walked away with it.

Contents of the wallet that seem important to me:

• Bank card
  
• Debit card
  
• NYU card, required to enter all university buildings
  
• Social Security Card (with my signature from 7th grade)
  
• Health Insurance card
  
• $200
  

I have ordered a replacement bank and credit card and I'm heading right now to replace my NYU card.

Concerts
We had concerts Sunday Dec 9 and Wed. Dec 12. Both concerts were good and the Sunday concert was especially memorable. Thanks to all my friends who came and supported us!

Concert today

My choir RCCNY will give the first of two concerts today. We will perform at Saint Ignatius of Antioch, which is a really cool little Anglican church on west 87th street.

Here is the program. In this program we span the earliest written chants to late 20th century compositions.

First Half

• Velichanie Rojdestvu: A sort of plainchant, russian style. After the first time through we harmonize more progressively each time. Men's voices only. Composer unkown.
  
• Nyne otposh'ayeshi: A very traditional russian-orthodox four part chant (don't know what these are officially known as). Men's voices only. Composer unknown.
  
• Rojdestvenskiy concert: Strokin (?-1887). This means "Christmas concert" and is a beautiful four-part piece for all voices.
  
• Let My Prayer Arise: Famous Bass solo with choir accompaniment by Chesnokov (1877-1944)
  
• Milost' Mira: A Mercy of Peace, Alexandr Yegorov (1864 - 1956).
  
• Svete Tikhiy: Quiet Light. Alexandr Yegorov. These pieces are amazing and tuning them is a joy. All voices, typically 6-7 parts.
  

Second Half

• Slava vo vyshnih Bogu: Glory to God in the Highest. Bortnyansky (1751-1825). a boroque style concerto for two mixed choirs 4 parts each. This is a paired down group of 16, not all of us will sing.
  
• Cherubic Hymn: Grechaninov (1864-1956). Just amazingly beautiful and simple. Mostly four parts.
  
• Four Ukranian Carols: The name speaks for itself.
  
• Aliluya: Modern Ukranian composer Skripnik (living). Mix between sacred traditional and gospel.
  
• Sh'edrik: Known as "Carol of the Bells" in the west, but actually is about a little Ukranian bird :)
