The 2003 Trip to Amiens, France

Amiens 2003

The choir spent an enjoyable weekend in Amiens during July 2003. The visit included socialising drinking and eating as well as singing.on the Saturday evening. About 30 singers and several friends and relations took part in the visit.

The concert took place outdoors on the cathedral steps on a glorious sunny evening. The appreciative audience of about 500 in number, sat in the square enjoying the music. The choir was amplified by about 25 microphones and enormous speakers. All enjoyed a most amazing experience, as the sounds of John Rutter's 'Feel the Spirit' reverberated around the cathedral square. The pictures show the choir both at rehearsal and during the concert

The grandeur of the cathedral was an impressive sight. Take note of the sunset which provided a spectacular finale to the concert!
