We had a wonderful line up for our summer concert with guests Chester Male Voice Choir and Baritone soloist Patrick Owston. On a particularly sunny June afternoon we were treated to a great programme by Chester MVC which included a varied programme from “An American Trilogy” to Verdi’s “Speed your Journey”. It was a particular delight to listen to the young baritone soloist Patrick Owston – a star of the future. There are extracts of the concert on our Listen to Di Voci page.
On Saturday 20th May, Di Voci sang as guests of The Vivaldi Ensemble (a 15 piece chamber ensemble) in aid of the AudMEd charity at the impressive Tabley House, near Knutsford. We were very pleased to join Vivaldi Ensemble in what was a varied programme in a really beautiful setting of the “Gallery Room” at this stately home. With new born lambs frolicking in the surrounding fields at the end of the lawn our rendition of “Listen to the Lambs” felt like it had more meaning, (with an extra background “bleat” here and there!!). Lovely to sing in such beautiful surroundings and even better to be able to raise money for a worthy charity.
Di Voci performed a solo concert at the Eglise St Louis En L’lle in the centre of Paris to a very warm and appreciative audience. The choir performed a mainly acapella programme together with duets and smaller ensembles from choir members. The acoustics in the church were unbelievable with the ends of phrases taking seconds to release producing a fantastic sound. We were all very moved by the reaction of the audience who were very enthusiastic in their applause and comments. A great experience for everyone.
