⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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

✨ What a spectacular concert we had last night in the Glasgow City Halls to conclude our 58th season!

🎶 It was truly special to perform the exquisite works of Ralph Vaughan Williams’ ‘Dona Nobis Pacem’ & John Rutter’s ‘Magnificat’, two of Britain's most treasured composers, under the ever-inspirational baton of our magnificent director Andrew Nunn!

🎵 Bearsden Choir again had the delight to perform with a phenomenal team of musicians including the outstanding Scottish Soprano Monica McGhee and Liverpudlian Baritone Danny Shelvey, as well as the fabulous the McOpera Ensemble, with Christopher Nickol on the organ.

💙 Many thanks to all our performers, supporters and concert guests who all made our 58th season finale a night to remember!

✨ Listen to Andrew Nunn's insights into John Rutter’s ‘Magnificat’, the second piece in our End-of-Season Concert this Saturday in the Glasgow City Halls

✍️ Composed in 1990, John Rutter describes his 'Magnificat' as a piece where "the sun shines from beginning to the end"

🌞 It's a joyous work! Right from the very opening bars, joy and positivity pour from these beautifully crafted melodies

🎶 Whilst sometimes compared to Bach’s work of the same name, this composition is unmistakably Rutter, with catchy themes and jazz influences, this performance will send you home with a spring in your step

🪄 Conducted by Andrew Nunn, we will be joined by the outstanding voices of Scottish Soprano Monica McGhee and Liverpudlian Baritone Danny Shelvey, as well as the fabulous the McOpera Ensemble

🎵 Don’t miss out and get your tickets for this special performance of this magnificent choral music and join us this Saturday evening!

✨Listen Andrew Nunn's insights into Vaughan Williams ‘Dona Nobis Pacem’, the first piece in our End-of-Season Concert next weekend in the Glasgow City Halls ✨

✍️ Commissioned to mark the centenary of the The Huddersfield Choral Society, Vaughan Williams produced this cantata as plea for peace in 1936

🎵 Vaughan Williams was deeply affected by witnessing the carnage and loss of war while serving in WWI, leaving a lasting influence on his musical compositions

🕊️ ‘Dona Nobis Pacem’ features some of Vaughan Williams’ most powerful music and sadly this hauntingly beautiful piece – written 90 years ago – is still relevant today

🪄 Conducted by Andrew Nunn, we will be joined by the outstanding voices of Scottish Soprano Monica McGhee and Liverpudlian Baritone Danny Shelvey, as well as the fabulous the McOpera Ensemble.

🎵 Don’t miss out and get your tickets for this special performance of remarkable choral music and join us next weekend!
