WALTHAM SINGERS VISIT TO WEILBURG - MAY 2008
The Waltham Singers travelled to the historic town of Weilburg where they rehearsed and performed with their hosts die
Kantorei der Schlosskirche. The joint choirs performed Elgar's "The Music Makers" and Mendelssohn's "Psalm 95" in the
magnificent baroque Castle Church. The choirs were accompanied by the Sudwestfalische Philharmonie. The Elgar was
directed by the German choir's conductor, Doris Hagel, and Andrew Fardell directed the Mendelssohn. Both works gave
choir and orchestra the opportunity to display the full range of their talents. The alto part in the Elgar was sung by powerful
counter-tenor Ralph Mangelsdorff, and the tenor soloist in the Mendelssohn was Heiko Borner. The soprano duet in the
Mendelssohn was sung by Doris Hagel and Dorothee Zimmermann from the Weilburg choir. The large audience showed their appreciation
for a concert of intensity and passion.
