An Appreciative Audience!

Near Vandervelde there’s a “do”

Stained glass windows – light shines through;

European singers take their places

Keen to be put through their paces!

 

Our brightly-garbed songbirds are poised

To intone Renaissance joys!

The conductor is inspired

Like Aristide Briand attired;

 

Baroque brings Mozart to the fore

Then Mendelssohn – with German score;

“Ave Maria” - world première:

Soprano ignites atmosphere!

 

‘Rose’ and ‘Seal Lullaby’ impart

Warm reactions in our heart;

With Spanish pianist on the keys …

This repertoire was sure to please!
