Praised often for our versatility and musicality, SWCS are always happy to hear from members of the audience, whether in Saffron Hall after a concert or on social media - sometimes not even before the end! The professional soloists who sing with us, equally, let us know how we do - why not read some of their comments below?
“It has been wonderful to work with Saffron Walden Choral Society. Great choir and a fabulous performance of Mass in Blue with excellent direction from Janet Wheeler. A very warm welcome and a most enjoyable collaboration.”
Will Todd
Composer – Mass in Blue
“I was bowled over by the venue, which is a wonderful space to perform in, and thrilled by the sound of the choir. Saffron Walden Choral Society is clearly a force to be reckoned with! They performed the Bach with style and elan, and brought out the drama of Dixit Dominus wonderfully well.”
Samuel Evans
Bass Soloist – Bach Magnificat – Handel Dixit Dominus
“I really enjoyed myself and thought the choir sounded fantastic in such challenging music!”
Carris Jones
Alto Soloist – Bach Magnificat - Handel Dixit Dominus
"The SWCS sang with great verve and clarity in two of the most difficult Baroque choral pieces. It was lovely to hear a choir sing with such passion for detail under the calm and fluid baton of Janet Wheeler... "
Helen-Jane Howells
Soprano Soloist – Bach Magnificat - Handel Dixit Dominus
My wife and I wanted to thank you for putting on such a wonderful performance. We did not know what to expect and were duly impressed by the scintillating performance.
