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.
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.
