Tenor Triumphs at Choral Union Concert


I thoroughly enjoyed the Opera Night gala performance by Dundee Choral Union, earlier tonight.

Under the baton of Norman Beedie, the choir sung a range of classic opera choruses augmented by the National Youth Choir of Scotland and accompanied by the Orchestra of Scottish Opera.

Welsh tenor Gywn Hughes-Jones provided some star quality. His performance of Verdi's Nessum Dorma provided a fitting climax to the evening. A thunderous round of applause persuaded Gwyn to perform an encore to an appreciative audience.

Dundee Choral Union was founded 152 years ago and is one of our oldest established cultural organisations in the city.

Dundee Choral Union - Caird Hall Sunday 13 December 2009


I attended Dundee Choral Union's Christmas Concert, earlier this evening in the Caird Hall. The programme comprised:
  • Serenade For Strings by Elgar
  • Gloria by Rutter
  • Choral Fantasy by Beethoven and
  • Mass Of The Children by Rutter.

The performers included:

  • Dundee Choral Union - comprising 34 sopranos, 38 contraltos, 11 tenors and 23 basses
  • National Youth Choir of Scotland
  • Chloe Marger, Pianist
  • Soprano and Baritone Guest Soloists and the
  • Orchestra of Scottish Opera.
Tonight's performance did not disappoint. In fact it was a wonderful musical preparation for Christmas.

The Choral Union, established in 1858, 'to practise and execute chiefly sacred music' is, I think, one of our most enduring and outstanding cultural organisations in the city.
