Hi all, Thought I'd let you know that Andrew and I had a great concert at the McEwan Hall in Edinburgh on Sunday, in a joint performance between the Edinburgh Royal Choral Union and the Liverpool Welsh Choir. We performed the beautiful Faure's "Reqiuem", "Laudes Organi" by Kodaly, "Totus Tuus" by Gorecki and the "Messe Solennelle" by Vierne, which was definitely some of the most exciting choral singing I have done in my time with ERCU. The Edinburgh Youth Choir also performed there brilliantly. Hard work doing the rehearsals during the week and rehearsing Saturday and Sunday before the concert itself, but hugely enjoyable!! Here's a link to a review in the Herald: www.theherald.co.uk/features/featuresartsreview/display.var.1810805.0.0.php I'm in Liverpool this coming Saturday doing the same concert again at the Anglican Cathedral, looking forward to that! Best wishes David

Hi Richard & all, Pleased to say the concert in Liverpool went well! i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif Had very little time for myself throughout the weekend with travelling down there followed by rehearsals and then the event itself, but I managed to take a few photos of the vast interior - and it is VAST!! Apologies for the quality of the photos not being so good, the conditions were not ideal for photography. The view from my seat Looking behind Looking towards our seating area Anyway, hope you enjoy the photos (and that I'm not being a bit too self-indulgent here!! ) Best wishes David

Hi David, Wow... What excellent photographs - thanks for sharing those. I can just imagine how the ERCU's rendition of 'Totus Tuus' (by Henry Mikolaj Gorecki) must have sounded in that Cathedral WOW... I was disappointed not to be available to join the ERCU in Liverpool this time. Andrew

Hi David, Thank you very much for the review. It looks as though you really enjoyed performing in Liverpool and I am sad that I couldn't go and attend the concert. Incidentally, I visited the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral just a week before you went there! Stephany

Hi Stephany, Many thanks for fixing the link there, not quite sure why I couldn't get it to work on this occasion! I imagine you found the building as impressive as I did!! Just wish I could've had a bit more time for myself to walk round and see the outside, by the time we got there just after 3pm we had to start preparing for the rehearsal and then the concert itself, so I was at the cathedral until after 10pm!! I'm just thankful my hotel room hadn't been cancelled when I checked in at 11pm that night. Best wishes David
