Audience Comments

I never thought I'd describe a concert at the Royal Albert Hall as "intimate", but that's exactly what it felt like ...an intimate, very informal "Royal Opera Gala" with amazing and very engaging soloists, a world-class orchestra complete with kettledrums and an anvil and, of course, our "very own" Northampton Bach Choir along with the Daventry Choral Society who were every inch the professionals - in sight and sound.  I was both very proud and immensely pleased to be a part of the audience.
A privilege...

G.S. of  Brington

A very professional performance delivered with confidence, expertise and just the right amount of fun!  In nice impromptu exchanges with the audience, the entire program was a delight and the combined choirs a triumph of sound and emotion.  A memorable experience.
