Helensburgh choir ‘raised a storm’ in Glasgow

Helensburgh Oratorio Choir’s 60th anniversary concert last weekend was a resounding success, according to chairman Alicia Tindal.

“What an impressive sight and sound we made”, she said.

“Our choir, together with the Rosenethe Singers, the Orchestra of Scottish Opera and professional soloists singing A Sea Symphony really did raise a storm in Glasgow’s City Halls!”

This was the finale to the choir’s diamond jubilee and they were joined by the Rosenethe Singers for the start of their celebratory year.

Alicia added: “I want to thank everyone who came to the concert, but especially all the choir members and volunteers who worked so hard to make this a success.

“It was a great night”.

The concert was in aid of the RNLI which celebrates its 200th anniversary this year.

Their stall and collections raised well over £500.

Final word to Helensburgh Oratorio Choir’s Patron, Jamie MacDougall, who said: “The standard of singing reached another level thanks to the fabulous support of the Orchestra of Scottish Opera.

“The choir sounded amazing – the full force of the sea captured properly to the music.”

Its back to rehearsals next week for the choir’s next concert on May 11, “Choral Favourites”.
