REVIEWS

“The concert was so beautiful. For the Fauré’s Requiem, I sat above the choir, where the choir boys used to sing. I was on my own up there with the Soprano. I literally bathed in the sound and when the Soprano sang, I felt like I was sitting next to an angel. It was amazing.”

Fauré’s Requiem. Audience member, Chailey Heritage Centre.

“I must mention the quartet here - what a spectacular job you did. Imogen - the clarity you had on those top Cs - sublime.”
