It was such an honour and privilege for Solid Harmony to have performed at
the Royal Festival Hall as part of the Newham Arts Festival last Tuesday.
They carried themselves with maturity and confidence and sang their best yet.
They set an example to the hundreds of young singers there as part of the massed
choir, demonstrating what is possible with commitment, mutual support and hard
work!
It was also a real privilege to share the stage with two visiting young
people from Namibia, Valerie and Barnabas. The choir was highly impressed by
their cool! Congratulations all! Here are just some of the comments received by
email after the event:
"... It is invidious to highlight
particular items but we both felt your Namibian pieces were very special. They
were absolutely right for the young people and they performed them extremely
well. Their visit to Namibia must have been an unforgettable experience."
Peter Renshaw,
Guildhall
"... I was so
moved to see the kids swaying and clapping and singing with such confidence and
joy!
And I have
to say, Solid Harmony were supremely impressive!" Ben Spencer, RFH
"... By the way THE SOLID HARMONY CHOIR AND YOU WERE ANOTHER highlight
for me and my
friends. Wow and wow again. What singing! There was a moment when you
all gathered energy and stillness and presence between the first and
second songs... The energy and power and musicality was amazingly
potent, just at the BEFORE the song moment. I hope you noticed the volume of the applause and cheering for
your group! IT was LOUD!" Bridget Belgrave, Liferesources
"... As for your Solid Harmony choir.
Beautifully expressive, musically tight, impressive, confident, and a very, very
solid group of impressive young singers. They were the highlight for
me. Congratulations". Shirley Keen, East End Opera
