City Chamber Choir – “In Concert” – 7th July 2021

Our first Concert and the first live singing in our church for more than 15 months – so pleased to have the City Chamber Choir lift the curtain for us on “new normal” as the Covid restrictions are relaxed. We were operating under DCMS guidance, and both the choir and the audience were socially distanced, with the latter masked as our Covid Protocol still requires.

The audience (perhaps reflecting the Euro 2020 England vs Denmark match which we’d not planned for) was outnumbered by the choir, but that made it a particularly personal as well as very enjoyable experience.

The programme comprised choral pieces interspersed with piano and organ solos from Stephen Jones.

Stephen gave us his traditional informed commentary on the pieces and since our organ (and the organist) had been in hibernation since March 2020, he put on his magic shoes to help him operate the foot keyboard. The magic worked!

We’ll look forward to the resumption of our musical events in the second half of 2021.
