Response to SCS Performances

“The whole thing was…Wow! Audience member

“I thought it was really splendid and, never having attended any of SCS events before, I shall certainly keep an eye on the future programme” Audience Member

“What a really exciting concert last Saturday: excellent choir, very tuneful orchestra, and fabulous soloists. The Mozart-fest at Olton Friary was one of the best concerts we’ve attended in recent years. Oliver Walker conducted the event with his usual verve and the audience loved it all. Audience member

“I was suitably impressed. I’ve played with many amateur choirs and this lot can really sing.” Orchestra member

“Where else would we get the opportunity to sing something as dynamic and impactful as this new and exciting work?” Choir Member

“I feel we are singing very well as an ensemble currently. It gives me greater confidence in and enthusiasm for tackling new and challenging works. Best concert we have ever sung.” Choir Member

“Challenging and moving. Quite an accomplishment” Audience member

“Congratulations to everyone concerned with the concert last night. The whole production from the choir, the soloists , the junior choir, the orchestra where a delight to watch and listen to!! The concert I would describe as DYNAMIC!!” Audience Member

“I was lucky enough to see the Choir sing Jonathn Dove’s Cantata ‘For an Unknown Soldier’ at Solihull School. It is a difficult piece but extraordinarily moving; and this was a very powerful performance.” Audience Member

“I cried at the end of The Dove” Audience Member

“A wonderful concert that I thoroughly enjoyed. A beautiful programme delivered with aplomb by a choir that was clearly enjoying itself!” Audience Member

“Committed and well-disciplined, these 60-odd choristers produce a wonderfully well-blended tone, judiciously weighted and balanced” Birmingham Post
“SCS now have a precision and clarity which is rare in such a society and a joy to hear” Audience member

“The impeccably rehearsed choir floated Fauré’s lines tenderly and beautifully….” Birmingham Post

“I’m visiting the area and thank goodness for the Internet and to find out about last eve’s performance. The Creation is a great work, Haydn is always balm for the soul, and last night was a lovely performance. Thank you so much. The conductor and the soloists were brilliant – really fantastic – and the chorus and orchestra (some gorgeous woodwind) were great. A heartfelt thank you.” Audience Member
