A Season to Sing Summer Concert 2025
A capacity audience gathered for SPS’s Summer Concert A Season to Sing on Saturday 14 June 2025
One of our audience members sent us this lovely review!
I really enjoyed the concert, it was a magnificent spectacle! The way the sound echoed uniquely around the magnificent church really added to the effect of the music. The words blended seamlessly with the music, and I loved how all the vocal ranges got a chance to carry the tune. The body percussion was amazing and it was great how it could convey the feeling of the storm so well. My favourite part was in ‘Winter Freeze’ when the choir unexpectedly made a loud shiver at the end of the movement, and in ‘Song of Harvest’ the upbeat and inspiring energy of the choir would have matched the energy of the farmers in the past. I was sitting near the choir so I could see the concentration and hard work everyone had put into it and it turned out perfectly. The fantastic organ really added to the experience by providing the emotions for all of the songs and the organ solo was absolutely perfect. I knew some of the music before but now I’ll remember all of it because of the concert.
Thank you so much to everyone who made it happen. It was totally worth it!
