Last Saturday concert and late dinner...

Last Saturday, we went to a spiritually and harmoniously fantastic concert at The Temple Emanu-El in Miami Beach, Fl.

My friend, Carol was so kind she got us tickets and she also picked us up and dropped us off.
The concert was Seraphic Fire and Firebird Chambers Orchestra and it was titled "Out Of Babylon".
It included sacred and secular choral words with a culturally rich mix of ethnic and religious background chorus members. It was incredible!! The Gregorian like chants with a mixture of Middle Eastern, Indian and Jewish influences was beautiful. The temple is absolutely gorgeous inside and the intimate setting made the experience so more intense and beautiful. Great, great times.

I wore my new shirt (Venissac) and capris (Parahrase) from my thrifting adventure about 2 weeks ago.

The music sounds divine! I'm trying to imagine Gregorian chant with middle eastern influences. Is the temple a mosque? Some of the decor seems to have that influence. The food looks delicious too.

Kudos to you for the print pants! I love them, but they can be tricky, don't you think? Also love the design on the program. Am like Terri--very curious as to what that sounded like!
We were in Miami yesterday and its warm now--83!

You've described what sounds like a truly lovely evening. You look chic and I love your friend's plaid shawl. As well as the Temple- is that mosaic tile-work on the walls? It makes me think of Spanish tile for some reason- beautiful.

Ofelia said...

Bella, thanks for your lovely observations and the Temple wall are made from mosaic and the brown design(stars) are are made from wood.
