Concert Reviews and Audience Comments
2013-14 Season
Saturday 7th June 2014 - Mozart: Exsultate, Jubilate Laudate Dominum
Mendelssohn: Hear My Prayer
Grieg: Ave Maris Stella
Hvad est du dog skjøn
Blegnet, segnet
Rheinberger: Stabat Mater
Gjeilo: Dark Night of the Soul
Conductor: Richard Laing
Featuring: Joanne Lunn
" It was a real pleasure to hear Joanne Lunn again in her home City. I knew that I would enjoy the first part of the programme, and I did. I did not know the Gjeilo, so did not know what to expect. It was wonderfully atmospheric."
"Joanne Lunn in Mendelssohn and Mozart was stunning, but my outstanding memory of the evening is the spine-tingling performance of
Gjeilo's 'Dark Night of the Soul', which earned the choir a standing ovation."
April 2014 - Rutter:Gloria
Purcell: Funeral Sentences for Queen Mary
Parry: I was glad
Ireland: Vexilla Regis
Walton: Coronation Te Deum
Saturday 12th April 2014 at 7.30 in St James the Greater Church, Leicester , with Bach Camerata Brass Ensemble directed by Richard Laing.
"A pleasure to hear this concert in a full church. The concert started with the Purcell Funeral Sentences, the brass hidden from sight. An exciting mix of music enhanced by the Bach Camerata Brass Ensemble, culminating in Rutter's Gloria."
December 2013 - Bach's Christmas Oratorio
Saturday 7th December 2013 at 7.30 in St James the Greater Church, Leicester , with Bach Camerata directed by Richard Laing.
"It was fantastic experience for the Bach Choir to be singing Bach's Christmas Oratorio to a full Church. Special thanks must go to the soloists, who made this such an uplifting event. An excellent start to the Christmas Season."
