Not a huge amount to report this week.
Tuesday they had the afternoon off for “Kapitelnachmittag” – whatever that is. Kapitel afternoon ? Does that mean “go to the capital for the afternoon”, “capital punishment afternoon” or something else entirely, such as “absolutely capital, old chap, what what” ? I have no idea. All I hope is that they weren’t supposed to be somewhere else with their friends having fun, as they were at home with me doing their homework, boo hiss to Mummy.
There is a clue later in the day that it might be something festive, as I go into Zurich for rehearsal and see several wind and brass bands around town, all dressed up in rather sinister looking fancy dress. At one point one of the bands stops right outside the Fraumunster, where I’m in rehearsal with the Fraumunsterchor , and plays jazzy numbers full blast for about 15 minutes, whilst 80 singers in the organ loft try to rehearse a Cherubini mass. A slightly surreal experience.
