Recent tributes from concert-goers:
"Absolutely stunning. I have never felt terribly enthusiastic about the Monteverdi Vespers up
to now but last night's performance was a revelation - soloists, band, conductor and above all the choir just superb." (March 2010)
"The music and singing were spell binding for me. A really classy and top quality performance." (Christmas 2009)
"We enjoyed the concert immensely - but, if we had to choose one piece it must be 'Sleep',
not only for the excellent musicianship, but the superb way that the choir faded away to almost nothing
(yet we could still hear the words)." (November 2009)
"... the choir performed these demanding works splendidly. I was particularly impressed by the harmonic quality of the
ladies voices... " (November 2009)
