Breath of Life Quartet and Heaven's Song...Concert

Hubby and I went to a concert at our church.  I took my D7k and my trusty 18-200mm lens along with my 50mm and SB-600 flash.  I wasn't sure what to expect with the limited lighting inside the church sanctuary.  We sat in the second row and much to my surprise I was able to take lots of pictures of the concert from my seat.  Heaven's Song opened up the concert and they were truly amazing singers.

At an opportune moment, I left my seat to walk towards the back of the church to take this shot (no flash):

One of the neat advantages of being the unofficial photog for the church is the ability to move around without causing too much distraction.  Folks are used to seeing me with my camera.  

The Breath of Life Quartet was pretty amazing and their music was very uplifting.  All I can say, they have awesome vocals and harmonies.

At the end of the concert, both groups were on stage to give the final performance for the evening:

The concert lasted for 2 hours.  We thoroughly enjoyed it and I was able to purchase a few of their CDs.  I am currently listening to Loren Mulraine's CD - Fall on Me as I'm typing this post.  Uplifting and inspirational!
