The first of the Arran Singers’ two summer concerts was held in the community theatre in the high school, Lamlash, last Saturday evening ... and what a wonderful variety of musical offerings the choir presented, all beautifully sung.
The choir got off to a swinging start with a lively rendition of Cole Porter’s ‘Just one of those things’, followed by the group Ain’t Misbehavin’s beautiful performance of another Porter standard, ‘Every time we say Goodbye’.
Then, in more serious vein, the choir did full justice to three pieces from Karl Jenkins’ Mass for Peace, ‘The Armed Man’, followed by the first of the evening’s fine soloists, with Aileen Wright’s lovely mezzo voice in Schubert’s setting of Shakespeare’s ‘To Sylvia’, sung in German.
