BAROQUE CONCERT, LYME BAY CHORALE

St Michael’s Church, Lyme Regis

IT was a great delight to hear this concert in St. Michael’s Church.

I was totally in agreement with the audience’s heartfelt applause in appreciation of the convincing performance of the works by Handel and Vivaldi.

The group was excellently prepared by Alex Davies, an admirable musical director, in all aspects of the performance.

It was a wonderful afternoon/evening feast of singing which was thoroughly enjoyable.

And it was also very much enhanced by very good soloists.

Sopranos Philippa Hyde and Chloe Stratta were outstanding; their remarkably well balanced voices were wonderful in duet.
