| in the press Report of the concert ACE Chorus Entertains in The Clyde Auditorium on 15 November 2008, by NODA Scotland representative, John Urquhart.
As always, this was a very enjoyable evening, well worth the journey to Glasgow. While the choir was as impressive as ever, and of course the ACE orchestra produced such a wonderful sound, the success of the evening was due in no small measure to the judicious choice of music. From The Deadwood Stage we journeyed through a variety of songs from the shows before reaching a Tom Jones Medley and a Walking Back to the Sixties Medley, which proved to be an excellent finale. Soloists were particularly strong, but the highlight was certainly the rich sound from the choir.
Guest artists for the evening were Les Sirenes Female Chamber Choir with conductor Andrew Nunn. They treated us to a thrilling selection of numbers, fully demonstrating their vocal ability. Soloists introducing the items worked well and kept things moving. The colour coding in costuming was particularly effective this year. |
