Director’s Reflection
“The concert was an amazing success, with music from Bach to Harry Potter. It was a fun afternoon of music making. The choristers and soloists sang with emotion, zest and musicality. They made my job easy and enjoyable. I had a great time leading this enthusiastic group of singers and I hope the audience was well entertained.” Artistic Director, Ron Cheung
Audience Feedback
“We enjoyed the concert, especially the significant number of pieces that we recognized and love.”
“I thought there was intelligence and humour in the selection of music… a little classical (to show what you are capable of), and the contemporary, which more people might enjoy.”
“Your hard work was evident (so many new pieces) and the choir seemed relaxed and happy at the same time.”
“Loved the variety; you really covered a full spectrum of sound. Your new conductor really allowed so many people to shine. And, Ann-Marie…..amazing is the right word!”
“The music moved me from tears to joy. Well done!”
“That accompanist is outstanding!”
“The narration was so entertaining!”
