Touchdown!

Greetings from Leuven, Belgium! The entire group reconvened today in our wonderful hostel in a college town of Leuven this afternoon. Running on a collective 0 hours of sleep, the Pitt Men were once again reunited with the glorious Silbernagl- our double decker steed that transports us majestically around town.

We grabbed a quick lunch and then were introduced to the wonderful Arenberg Orkest whom we will be performing our Cherubini Requiem with for the first time in two days. This is a 80+ piece orchestra from this city that consists of similar aged students and adults.

They greeted us extremely hospitably with an arranged "Meet and Greet", complete with complimentary Belgian beers. No complaints here- even Richard didn't scoff us whetting our whistles right before our evening rehearsal.

Following, we scoped out a few areas of the city as we walked to the church we will be performing in in two days time. More photos to come- for now we all need some sleep!
