Incredible annual concert this year full of memorable moments. The first half included a fantastic new piece for the choir, ‘Flying Free’ and a unique Welsh medley of Calon Lan, Sosban Fach and Yma O Hyd. Highlight of the half was the Presentation of the Dilwyn Evans Memorial Award to the extremely talented flutist, Rhys Bissmire. Rhys dazzled the audience with his beautiful playing. Our Guest special guest artist Eve Sherratt had everyone singing, swaying and clapping with numbers including ‘All That Jazz’ and ‘Second Hand Rose’.
The second half included an emotional version of ‘I Dreamed a Dream’, with the choir supporting Eve in this classic from Les Mis. Our accompanist Laura Deenik silenced the audience with a piano solo piece ‘Autumn Deep’ which could only be described as show stopping.
The choirs finale of Finlandia literally raised the roof. Richard Davis our accompanist shone once again.
Big shout-out to our Musical Director Alec Brooks who not only steered the choir through the evening but kept the audience entertained with his introduction of the programme.
What really blew the choir away was the fantastic support we received. People turned out in their hundreds and this was probably a record audience for the choir at All Saints. Apologies to those who ended up with restricted views due to the need for additional seats at the side.
Special thanks to our invited guests and patrons.
Again, thanks to our wonderful supporters.
