QUOTES
Feedback from the recent performance of Winter:
'The sonorous tones of the string quintet combined with our well-placed notes and matching text sounded beautiful in St Oswald’s Church Bollington, where we perform. The audience was entranced and we received many very favourable comments:
'The season was depicted sensitively'
'The voices blended with the strings well' '
'You could hear a pin drop during the rests'
Choir members asked: 'Will Adrienne compose another piece for us? We do hope so!'
