A Tribute from the top.
"Congratulations Hanley Voices on a wonderful concert last night. After months of hard work and dedication the efforts of everyone paid off big time! I know it was frustrating and it seemed at times rhat the task at hand was all but insurmountable, but we did we did it.
I had an audience member who had never been to one of our concerts before tell me how much she enjoyed the unfamiliar Saint- Saens 'Oratorio de Noel'. What a beautiful work.
And as far as 'Messiah' went I thought we did a beautiful job. It is not an easy piece and I was extremely pleased. Perhaps you could have figured that out from my facial expressions at various points!!
This was my first experience of 'Messiah' with instruments and I was very excited as well as nervous ... special thanks to Richard Duckett who managed so much before, during and after and Nik Rozier for her marvellous Christmas Raffle.
Yours most warmly, Lee Wiltamuth"
