May 2007 - Return to Germany

In May of this year the choir made another return visit to Germany in collaboration with our friends the Widukind Chor, Enger.

Despite a very early start to check in at the airport for 5am, we were still standing to give a midnight performance in the Stiftskirche. Maybe the tiredness focussed our minds, since the end result was a standing ovation! The following evening we joined forces with the Widukind Chor and the Golden Glories at an international gala concert held in the 1600 seat "Rudolph Oetker Halle" in Bielefeld (pizza never sounded so good)! Another very successful concert. The tour was completed with a wonderful afternoon performance in Melle Neuenkirchen with the Männerchor St Annen which resulted in another standing ovation and no less than four encores! If our conductor Marilyn hadn't left the platform we might still be there! Here is a selection of pictures from a memorable visit.

Who says choirs are stuffy?!! (See that conductor move!)
