[NYC GOP Chick]

Yeah -- if it weren't for the fact that I'm gonna be coming home around 10:30 or 11 tonight.

[Argh]

The soloists aren't on the website, but after messing around with Google, I got it:

Carmina & Cannons Friday, July 11 at 8:15 p.m.
Emil de Cou, conductor
Sarah Coburn, soprano
Nicholas Phan, tenor
Ian Greenlaw, bass
The Washington Chorus - Robert Shafer, music director
The Annandale High School Women's Choir - Carleen Dixon, Director
Experience a night of symphonic drama at its best, with two towering classics on one exhilarating program. Emil de Cou leads the Grammy Award®-winning Washington Chorus in Orff ’s Carmina Burana, one of the most powerful and pulse-pounding choral works ever created, followed by an NSO and Wolf Trap summer tradition: Tchaikovsky’s thunderous 1812 Overture, complete with spectacular cannon effects.
