2016 Big Sing

The concert performance took place in Gloucester Cathedral on Saturday 11th June 2016. What a wonderful occasion this was. Everyone agreed that Brian Kay was a superb conductor. His Burford Singers were excellent as the semi-chorus and all the soloists were brilliant. They were: Diana Moore (mezzo-soprano), Philip Lloyd-Holtam (tenor) and Quentin Hayes (baritone). The orchestra was the Regency Sinfonia who were also excellent. It was a privilege to be part of it.
