Welcome to St Albans Chamber Choir
We all thoroughly enjoyed joining St Saviour’s Choir and String Ensemble last night to celebrate the 120th anniversary of the dedication of the church.
The virtuosic solos within Haydn’s Nelson Mass were beautifully sung by Fleur and the whole piece was full of energy and jubilation. Haydn himself stated ‘At the thought of God my heart leaps for joy, and I cannot help my music doing the same.’ – a truly fitting piece for the occasion.
Looking forward to a special concert in memory of The Queen. A truly remarkable woman, dedicated to a life of service, a mother, grand-mother and an inspiration to many all over the world.
The music has been specially selected to pay tribute, with pieces from her coronation and a collection of beautifully moving anthems, motets, psalms and even The Beatles!
For those that can’t make it to London we hope you can join us to reflect on and celebrate a long and special life.
THANK-YOU to those who joined us. It was great to see such a turn out and we look forward to singing with you.
