I live in Maryland but once by chance heard Reed Carter and his choir perform at a local event in Salem. I'm not necessarily a lover of choral music but I loved what I heard so much that I came to the future performance at the church that he announced during that event. It was nothing short of magical. That was years ago. Every time I visit Salem (I have a second home here) I try to coincide my visits with his choral performances - the last being this past Sunday which was so packed I perched on the edge of the last row in the church. I can see others share my love of these events. Once again I was enchanted. As I said earlier there is something very magical that Reed Carter and his choir communicates through their music that I can't put my finger on. It is a mystery but the beauty I experience through each song, I simply feel and love. The best advice my mother gave me was - if you truly love something about someone, tell them to their face, don't just keep it to yourself. So please tell Reed Carter and his choir of the sheer joy their spirit of music gives me.
