Charity concert in Bellhaven Church<\/p>\n
Dunbar Choirs take their Audience on a Musical Journey.<\/p>\n
Last Thursday, to a packed out audience at Belhaven Church, the choirs of Dunbar entertained and moved their crowd with an exciting musical journey from Broadway to Africa. The concert was a benefit for the Dunbar Rotary Club with the members of the Rotary going on to surprise with a flash mob for World Polio day. The evening was full of laughter and fun with the audience bopping happily in the pews and clapping along to the exuberant renditions.<\/p>\n
Dunbar Choral opened the night with a medley from Oklahoma! followed by a set of songs from Africa by Dunbar Sings and this eclectic flavour continued throughout the evening with a tribute to Andrew Lloyd Webber and a journey into Traditional America. The evening was a real showcase of the diverse directions choral singing can take. Dunbar Choral and Dunbar Sings through their talent and dedication gave a truly unique and exhilarating evening. An event of many highlights including the deeply moving and transporting \u2018Little Jazz Mass\u2019, the songs of Ivor Novello, a heart stopping arrangement of Swahili song \u2018Malaika\u2019 and a stirring version of \u2018Moon River\u2019. A special mention should also go to the soloists Claire Burns and Martine McCluskie who inspired the audience with their obvious joy and soulful voices.<\/p>\n
A great evening and well received by the enthusiastic audience who left excited about upcoming concerts and performances, a wonderfully attended local event but also, an inspiring and transporting one \u2013 who needs to travel to Broadway when you can get it all and more in Dunbar.<\/p>\n
