Lets start by saying I don't know enough about music to write a proper review, but I do know that I thoroughly enjoyed last night's concert by the Huddersfield Choral Society in St Magnus Cathedral. The Cathedral is a special place at any time, but filled with people and great music it is amazing and that was certainly the case last night. This was a great concert ranging from Brahms to Britten and Mendelssohn to MacMillan, and although only a third of the Choral Society were here, at times the whole building seemed to be resonating to their sound, combined with the Willis Organ under the control of Michael Bawtree.
Festival Synchronicity #1: Before leaving for the concert I caught part of 'Leonard Cohen in London' with him singing 'Hallelujah'. Tonight's encore was the 'Hallelujah Chorus'. (Yes, they did the 'Hallelujah Chorus' as an encore!)
Caught the end of the show in the Spiegeltent which seemed to have gone well and ended the evening at the Festival Club (of course).
