Another sensational evening at Lewes Town Hall on Saturday 16th April with outstanding performances by the East Sussex Bach Choir, The Baroque Collective and the two soloists, Alexandra Kidgell (soprano) and Rebecca Leggett (mezzo soprano).
The concert opened with the choir singing a Ukrainian Prayer, a thoughtful, touching tribute for the people of Ukraine. The programme then followed and included works by Corelli, Vivaldi and Handel. The choir approached both their pieces; Vivaldi’s Gloria and one of the Handel Coronation Anthems – Let thy hand be strengthened with gusto and confidence and were supported ably throughout by the Baroque Collective, under the leadership of Alison Bury.
The concert was well attended, as usual, with the choir’s loyal audience receiving the performance warmly. A new comer, a first time attendee made the following comment “absolutely fantastic, very professional and exceeded all expectations. Well done, I look forward to coming again!”.
We will all have the opportunity very soon to join the choir again in what promises to be a stellar evening, when the choir joins forces with Kantorie Hochrhein, who will be visiting from our twinned town Waldshuit-Tiengen on Saturday, 28th May 2022 to sing Mozart’s Mass in C Minor and Haydn’s Te Deum. One not to be missed!
