Choir of Former Pupils Hold Concert in Bar Convent Chapel

On Saturday, 19 November, former members of the Bar Convent Grammar School, at the instigation of Ellie Fiorentini, gave a delightful concert in the Bar Convent chapel. The repertoire was selected from their favourite sacred pieces which they remembered from when they sang as pupils in the school choir.  Among these items were: ‘Stabat Mater’, ‘O Quam Tristis’, and ‘Amen’ from Pergolesi’s Stabat Mater;  ‘Pie Jesu’, ‘Sanctus’ and ‘In Paradisum’ from Faure’s Requiem; and ‘Jesus Christ the Apple Tree’ by Elizabeth Poston. The standard of singing and directing was high and much enjoyed by all.
