    Description: Christmas Concert - Vivaldi Gloria


    The ChriClick for full-sized imagestmas season began on Saturday with Vivaldi's Gloria, a truly joyful work. Choir and soloists, Lizzie and Jane Searle, were in good voice while the 'orchestra' was provided by Matthew Rickard at the St John's organ.  After enjoying some refreshment in the interval, the large and appreciative audience had their opportunity to listen to glorious and thoughtful Christmas songs and poetry  from the choir as well as raising the roof by joining in with much-loved traditional carols.
    There was an emotional end to the concert - a final Christmas Blessing  followed a standing ovation for all Val Beynon has done for the choir over her many years as Music Director. 
    As the audience left ready to start their own Christmas, generous donations were given in memory of one of our members who suffered from Marfans.
