Our concert on 5 December 2015 was held in the Banqueting Suite of Newcastle Civic Centre. The main feature was Mass in Blue, by local composer Will Todd. We were delighted that the Will Todd Trio, including of course the composer, took part in our performance. The Trio was really fantastic, as was Sue Ferris playing saxophone. Soprano soloist Lorna James was absolutely fabulous.
In addition to the exciting Mass in Blue performance, there was a selection of favourite traditional Christmas music to provide seasonal cheer, and we were pleased to be accompanied by the great Mike Dutton on piano.
The choir thoroughly enjoyed the evening, and hope the audience did too!
We held a closing collection in aid of the Rainbow Trust Children’s Charity, which provides support to families with a seriously ill child. Will Todd is very close to this charity, and he spoke about its work at the concert.
