Sublime Spring Concert

The Spring concert was a great success, writes David Gorodi, Director of Music.

The Orchestra opened proceedings featuring two soloists: Charlotte sung Poor Wandering One from The Pirates of Penzance, she sounded “sparkling” especially in the top register where her voice resonated beautifully in the Memorial Hall. Then it was Tom's turn, he performed the 1^st Movement from Rosauro’s Concerto for Marimba & Strings; this is a very difficult piece, both technically and rhythmically challenging. Tom gave a virtuosic performance delighting the audience with his musicianship and dexterity. I particularly enjoyed the Military Band’s performance of Highlights from Ratatouille, Holly played some lovely solo passages with great phrasing and control. All the choral music was of the normal high standard; personally I enjoyed Worthy is the Lamb but quite honestly you could pick on the Chamber Choir with Tom and Felix as soloists or the Chapel Choir with Ella as the soloist as well as the main Choir as your own highlight because they all produced such a beautiful sound. My congratulations to all involved. An album of photos alongside a video of the concert can be seen below.
