Lochranza choir concert

This coming Sunday, June 5th, sees the Lochranza Choir celebrating its 10th anniversary with a special concert in Lochranza Hall at 7.30 pm. (Please note the time, as the choir has been known to perform in the afternoon during the winter, as not everyone likes turning out on a dark and possibly stormy night.) As ever, this concert is directed and accompanied by the magical resident duo, Diana and Douglas Hamilton, as conductor and accompanist. The programme includes the whole of the Fauré Requiem, Mozart’s well-loved Ave Verum and the glorious Wie Lieblich Sind Deine Wohnungen (sung in its original language) from the Brahms German Requiem. There’s a good range of light-hearted music as well, ranging through West Side Story to a roistering version of the Battle Hymn of the Republic, and the Saints will come marching into Lochranza Hall like you ain’t never heard before. The audience gets its chance to join in as well, and the whole evening looks set to be a lot of fun. Tickets at the door cost £5, and proceeds will go to the Beatson Cancer Institute.
