Alison only joined the Wendover Choral Society in October and here she was singing with the choir in Johann Sebastian Bach's Christmas Oratorio at St Mary's Church in Wendover. They were joined by The Brook Street band, a fifteen piece "critically acclaimed" orchestra playing baroque instruments, and four exceptional soloists who sang the arias.Part One of the concert started with a Bach overture from the orchestra followed by a Cantata for the choir. An interval was followed by the Oratorio itself. I have to say that good as were the soloists and the orchestra, the best parts were when the choir joined in. The 45 members created a wonderful sound that echoed through the church. Alison's sister Anne travelled down from Cheshire and came with me. We both thoroughly enjoyed the evening.
