Rosemary Philips:
Birmingham Bach Choir raised our spirits with their glorious singing …….A truly memorable Service, reflecting the real meaning of Christmas!
John Gough:
It was thrilling to sing the familiar tunes while surrounded by such choral splendour ….I was lost in admiration for the beauty and skill on display in almost every piece in the programme.
Our organist Paul Carr, who thrilled all with his playing, wrote: It was a very special and uplifting occasion.
