A huge round of applause to the triumvirate that made the Brahms Requiem possible: Mark Robinson, choral director, teacher, conductor; JulieAnn Smith in Homer or Maria Allison in Kenai, patient, professional pianists; and master of logistics and detail, Laura Norton.

A round of applause also to the members of the Kenai Peninsula Orchestra who magnificently joined the choir in this event.

Additional appreciation to The Homer Foundation for their grant; to Mich Michener, manager of the Mariner Theatre, and Tim Elder, manager of KCHS;  and to the news outlets: KGTL/KWAVE; KBBI; the Homer News, the Homer Tribune, the Peninsula Clarion and the Redoubt Reporter. Finally, applause to our audience. It was a joy to see you there.
