  • It was a delight to have St Edburg’s used for such a beautiful creation as yesterday’s performance. It was wonderful to listen to and it must have been amazing to be part of. I am sure the angels in heaven themselves were singing along at the end!

     - The Rector

  • Sincere thanks to Trinity Camerata for the opportunity to join the chorus for yesterday's Beethoven's 9th Symphony 200th anniversary performance. It was an occasion I'll remember with pleasure for a long time and one which I hope the orchestra will consider a great success.

  • Many congratulations for a truly wonderful concert. It was a great pleasure to be a part of it.

     - Ed Grint (baritone soloist)

  • Thank you for this. It was a thrilling experience, and thank you so much for organising the whole day (and the workshop) so well. All four of my family in the audience were blown away.

     - Richard

  • Please pass on my congratulations to all. It was a wonderful, uplifting hour-and-a-bit. You were very brave to take on the challenge of putting on such a big work in a space that is less than ideal, but it worked beautifully. Sam Laughton’s introduction was very enlightening and entertaining too: it makes a difference to learn something about the composer and the work before hearing it. I shall look forward to your next venture.
