Wonderful evening of singing at Knox

"Wonderful evening of singing at Knox... splendid choral delivery... unrestrained top Gs soared with exhilirating supremacy..." and the Hallelujah chorus was the highlight of the evening, with the entire audience standing and joining their voices to those of the choir and 60 guest singers. These guest singers also joined City Choir Dunedin in the rehearsals leading up to the concert. What a wonderful experience for singers and audience alike!

Were you there? Let us know what you thought of the "sing-along"!

Bravissimo!

"Bravissimo - tutti soprani e alti e tenori e bassi! 

It’s over 40 years since I sang the “little solemn mass” and this evening I (silently) sang along with you. 

The choir positively danced the fugue – what a delight to see and hear. Many thanks for a memorable performance." 

Russell (a friend of Lynn Dowsett, soprano)


And via text message from a keen supporter and friend, to Deborah: “Great performance, thank you so much!”.

Wow!!! That sounded good from where we stood. And the audience applauded with enthusiasm. If you were there, what did you think of the Petite Messe Solennelle performance?

And here is Marian's review for the ODT, published on Monday 1 October:

"...the clamour of "Cum Sancto Spiritu" in which all voices vie for prominence, the energy in "Credo", the triumph in "Et Resurrexit"and the exuberance of "Sanctus" were all successfully infectuous."

Congratulations and thank you to our brilliant soloists, accompanist and conductor!
