I recently had the pleasure of being a guest at a splendid concert at the Town Hall given by the Birmingham Choral Union and including well over 50 Blue Coat School choir members. The programme comprised two pieces touching upon a common theme; that of peace.
In the first half of the concert was Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Dona Nobis Pacem and in the second half was the Birmingham premiere of Paul MacCartney’s Ecce Cor Meum. The performances were outstanding and very moving with excellent solo performances too. The choirs were, as ever, very well supported by the impressive Birmingham Choral Union Orchestra.
We are indeed fortunate in the city of Birmingham to have such a rich and deep cultural life - so very well exemplified by this concert. Our thanks to the Birmingham Choral Union for all that they do.
