I watched Chloë's online concert today and OH MY GOODNESS it was amazing!
Her concerts are always fantastic, but this one
really blew me away.
Chloë's dad (David) was a special guest and played the oboe in a number of songs.
I thought Dermy's piano accompaniments were even better than usual and this might have been one of the best vocal performances I've ever heard from Chloë. She sang with an incredible amount of passion.
There were a few songs from Heartstrings (her EP), some I haven't heard her sing before, and some I've not heard her sing in a while. I LOVED all the song choices. I'll put the set list in a separate post in case anyone wants to avoid spoilers.
The comments that some of the other Chlovërs put in the chat during the show were really touching and I'm sure they made Chloë's songs even more powerful.
I'm not a person that cries often. I've actually listened to the CW version of Danny Boy without crying ... more than once! I've even gone to the funeral of a close family member without crying ... don't ask me how that happened, because I don't know. But this concert was was beautiful, I couldn't help myself. It connected with me so profoundly that I honestly believe that this is the best concert I have ever attended (and that includes Celtic Woman, which I loved A LOT).
I'm not much of an artist, but I loved this so much this concert I had to attempt something to show my appreciation to Chloë. Here's what I came up with. It's simple, I know, but for me, this is one of the best pieces of "art" I've ever put together.
Hope you enjoy:
