The Concert at
Gloucester Cathedral on Saturday, 19-01-08 (in aid of MacMillan
Cancer Support) was a successful
Concert in the majestic Cathedral nave. The choir, in some items especially,
produced a tremendous sound and many of the climaxes were “overwhelming”
(echoing around the nave), leading to great audience response.
Adele O’Neill
was also an impressive guest soloist.
While some who had bought tickets did not attend because of the “flood
scare”, the organiser has given us
very good feedback about the Concert, both on quality and on the audience’s
size: 350 people were present – only one Concert in the Cathedral in December
had a bigger audience.

On Saturday 16th February we did a concert for the 25th Anniversary of the Chinese Information and Advice Centre. The concert was in the Shaw Theatre, Euston Road, London and it was an interesting concert in the compact Shaw theatre to an enthusiastic audience. We were entertained by two Chinese soloists, Alan Tsang and Catherine Chan. Peter Totterdale from the choir also did a solo spot. The concert was conducted by Michael Wyn Jones our Deputy Conductor and Annabel Thwaite was the acconpanist. Berwyn Evans, with his past experience of the Hong Kong Welsh Choir was an admirable compère.

March 29th was a really good day for the choir. We sang at the prestigious concert hall at Snape Maltings. It was a concert organized by the Rotary club of Woodbridge Deben and we were delighted at the response. The concert hall was full to capacity with 800 in the audience. It was a real privilege to sing there and the acoustics were superb.
Our principal soloist was Elizabeth Donovan, soprano, who gave us a virtuoso performance. Feris Ash from the choir delighted with his Fishermen of England and the Hippopotamus Song. Haydn James conducted and in the absence of Annabel Thwaite, Anita D'Attellis was our accompanist. The choir were on a high and the celebrations lasted well into the night, despite the clocks going forward. We certainly look forward to a return to Snape.
