Fringe Concert Sell-out!
For the second year running, Cadenza’s Fringe Concert was completely sold out – and this was after the Greyfriars staff managed to squeeze in an extra 40-50 seats on Saturday morning!
Our capacity audience gave us a wonderful reception, appreciating our programme of exciting new music counterbalanced by more familiar crowd pleasers
“The Jean Langlais “Messe Solonelle” was absolutely magnificent, with tremendous attack and vast dynamic range – we were truly spellbound!”
There were many compliments afterwards for the choir, the soloists and the orchestra too.
We were all, choir and audience alike, mesmerised by Alexander Robin Baker’s beautifully resonant baritone, and we fell in love with our magnificent young treble soloist, Duncan Hughes. Organist Morley Whitehead was exhilerating, and Canadian cellist Christian Elliott gave us a beautifully gentle opening to “Panis Angelicus”, while Robert Dick’s violin solos soared above us in the “Requiem”.
Our programme for 2011 includes another audience favourite – Vivaldi’s “Gloria” (RV588 in Dmaj) – so book your tickets early to be sure of a seat!
