Uxbridge Gazette Concert Review 31 January 2009
Performance of Haydn's Paukenmesse (Mass in Time of War)at St Margaret's Church, Uxbridge.
“What a wonderful way to spend a winter’s evening: live music in the lovely setting of one of the borough’s oldest churches.
And there was an extra bonus as it all happened within walking distance of home!
Amersham Festival Chamber Orchestra accompanied Uxbridge Choral Society in a beautiful programme of music.
A particular treat was the unaccompanied choir singing some of Bruckner’s Sacred Choruses, a daunting test, but they produced a beautiful sound that soared to the rafters.”

Performance of Mendelssohn's Elijahat the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, Hayes
"The Uxbridge Choral Society performed their stirring version of the piece to what could, and should, have been a larger audience, fronted by an international cast of outstanding soloists.
The singers ... conducted by lain Ledingham, sang flawlessly, and not only sounded good, but also looked splendid in their black and white outfits - the ladies each sporting an eye-catching red rose".

Performance of Mozart's Solemn Vespers and Haydn's Nelson Mass at St Margaret's Church, Uxbridge
"The first half was devoted to Mozart's Solemn Vespers. The opening movement, Dixit Dominus,
was sung mainly by the choir, and what an excellent sound they produced. The clarity of their
diction and the internal balance of their voices was excellent and the conductor's firm control
of all the forces at his disposal was impressive.
Part Two was devoted to the Nelson Mass by Haydn. The opening Kyrie was powerfully sung by the
choir, with some clever counter-singing between the men and the women. Suddenly out of this tumult
of voices emerged the soprano voice, magically dominating the 70-strong choir. It was a
spine-chilling moment.
This was glorious music, gloriously performed in a perfect location. What more could you want
on a rainy Saturday evening?"
