At the Metropole des Dames des Doms for the Sacred Music Cycle portion of Avignon's In-Festival - the first of which music-cycles I've remembered or otherwise been able to attend, and there aren't even ten people here to comfort me. I had expected a greater presence, as most of the shows are completely sold out and have been so pretty much since the first week of ticket sales, but I am otherwise happy to be here and ready for some good ol' sacred tunes. Besides, I'm sure we'll get at least fifteen by noon when the show is scheduled to begin. The cathedral is a narrow stone enclosure whose Gothic trappings feel cool and important and moody. I like it.
