Choir

One thing about photo blogs.... it opens your eyes to things of interest that have passed you by before.
Take the photo blog of PIETERBIE, he has (through his web site) allowed me to observe the architecture in my world. So this past Sunday I went downtown to see 2 new buildings in Los Angeles. The Walt Disney Concert Hall and a brand new cathedral of Our Lady of Angels. Truly a spectacular work of art/architecture.
The cathedral was designed by Spanish Pritzker Prize architect Rafael Moneo. Using elements of postmodern architecture, the church and the Cathedral Center feature a series of acute and obtuse angles. There is an absence of right angles. Contemporary statuaries and appointments decorate the complex. Prominent of these appointments are the bronze doors and the statue called The Virgin Mary, all adorning the entrance and designed by Robert Graham.

A 500 voice choir was rehearsing for an evening performance when I took this picture.

Wow, thanks for the link, much appreciated. A choir of 500, pretty impressive. Love the texture on the walls. This is a monumental shot!
I'd love to see the outside of the new concert hall and the cathedral of Our Lady of Angels.
I don't suppose you have any pictures? :-)

People in the front row seem to be really intimidated by the conductor
