⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5-Star Review from The Herald

Read the 5-star review in today’s Herald of our ‘goose-bump’ Season Finale Concert in the Glasgow City Halls last weekend!

We are delighted that this special concert, which was dedicated to the memory of our former music director Dr James Hunter, as so well-received by our audience

⭐ “This was Bearsden Choir at its absolute finest and Jim Hunter would have been beaming from ear to ear with their performance. The McOpera musicians were outstanding, as were the soloists.”

⭐ “The choir’s performance was magnificent throughout, their parts distinct yet perfectly balanced.”

⭐ “A goose-bump finale called for a well-deserved encore from the audience in the well-filled hall.”

🎶 We are so grateful to have had the pleasure to sing again under the baton of Andrew Nunn, together with the fabulous McOpera Ensemble and our soloists Soprano Monica McGhee and Baritone Danny Shelvey, to make this concert a night to remember
