Last evening Jan invited me to go with her and meet up with her Daughter, Husband and Grandson, to go to hear the Chorus of St Cecilia, Festive Christmas Concert, as they know how I love the choir, made special nowadays although Elizabeth now does not sing in the choir but her hubby James and their Son Max do now sing, and it was Max's first concert so extra special.
Always such a joy to hear the choir and special because of Max, who did so well never seen him so still!
Mathew Hardy is the Musical Director …on the piano Christopher Whiting …drums Arthur Yan le baleur… Soloists Jo Westaway… gorgeous voice… Philip Pearson sounding better each time we hear him… and darling Max Pring who we have seen since he was really little and still only 11 with the most angelic voice, and the most adorable face so cheeky.
Great choir starting off with a Christmas Melody… and continuing with amazing Christmas songs… the junior choir makes the cheeks ache with the smiles one has to have on the face as they are so very delicious and in their red santa hats in some of the numbers, what a really good thing that with all the trouble some youngsters are blamed for nowadays, to see the youngsters fully committed to the choir, before half time the audience had a chance to sing with the choir Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer… and in the second half O Holy Night …The Snowman and many more with the junior choir singing Little Donkey, Mary had a Baby, with Max Pring singing Pie Jesu, must admit to tears in my eyes with that one.
The choir finished off with Bethlehem …White Christmas …We Wish you a Merry Christmas, and the audience joined in with O Come All Ye Faithful…
So many thanks to the family for including me again, and for the wonderful choir members who put on great shows …Mathew Hardy …you did it again well done.
