Memorable concert at the Memorial
On Friday 10th December the ULMS Choir, along with the String Orchestra and Flute Choir made the trip to the Ashton Memorial in Williamson Park to perform as part of the park’s series of carol concerts which was running during the Festive period.
The String Orchestra opened the concert playing Andante Festivo by Sibelius and Karl Jenkins’ Benadictus under the direction of conductors Carrie Skinner and Vivien Saunders. They were followed by the Flute Choir who began with Dawn Carol, which imitated bird calls, and in the acoustic of the circle Ashton Hall, created a great sound. They also performed The March from the Nutcracker conducted by Pippa Jones.
After a short interval, the Choir took to the stage for the second half. They sang a mix of Christmas pieces including Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, Silent Night and Ding Dong Merrily on High under their conductors Amelia Phillips and Suzy Wimbourne. The concert also featured the Barbie and Barbershop Choirs.
