BATH BACH FESTIVAL WEEKEND 2008
Promoted by the Chantry Singers
Friday 18th - Sunday 20th April

We would like to thank all those who made the 2008 Bach Festival such a success. You can look at the comments of both the artists and audience by following the links below.

Margaret Steinitz

The hard work you and the Chantry Singers do - they sang with their usual joy and commitment throughout - is thoroughly worthwhile and the results will live in the minds of the audiences for a long time I am sure. I also much enjoyed the commission and will pass on details to others when the occasion arises. Thank you for your warm hospitality and the value you place on the musicians. We are the lucky ones and occasions like Saturday are stark reminders of that.

Please pass on our thanks and congratulations to the choir and the many helpers who all contributed to such a memorable evening.

Emma Kirkby

I really enjoyed the evening, and definitely drew energy from you and your splendid organisation!  I trust all continued to go well and that by now you are drawing breath and preparing for a well-earned break.  All power to you and your companions for the future!

Peter Hurford

My wife and I were indeed most appreciative of that superb concert in Bath Abbey - very fine performances all the way through. It was made all the more delightful by the Abbey itself and the whole audience being so thrilled.

I wanted to write and say how much we enjoyed our day with you yesterday, and to thank everyone there who made us feel so welcome. It is always a great joy to play in Bath, and to perform in such a spectacular venue as the Guildhall made it feel very special. Congratulations on organising such a fine festival.

Ian Milne

It was my pleasure to sing for you and I thought that it was a beautiful concert, the choir sang brilliantly.

Peter Holman

We enjoyed the concert and thought it came off very well despite the cold.

Paul Whitmarsh

Thank you so much for your performance of “I still can sing”. Congratulations to the Chantry Singers – I thought they sang the piece with much understanding, intelligence and commitment. I hope you enjoyed performing the piece as much as I did composing it..

Rebecca  Weaver

I just wanted to say a brief thank you for the opportunity to participate in the Master Class with Stephen Varcoe this morning.  It was a hugely educational 2 hour session.  It was also wonderful to have such a good audience present who were so supportive and encouraging to us all.
