Review: Bel Canto choir gets new concert season in Tickhill off to a stirring start
The choir made a stirring entry with the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah, and progressed through other sacred pieces from the past by Mozart and Verdi to sacred pieces of the present by Karl Jenkins and John Rutter.
Following the interval the choir demonstrated its versatility with songs from the shows and film, starting with a clever adaptation by Webb of songs from The Sound of Music, at one point requiring the choir to switch from singing to whistling.

Whether performing oratorio or light music the choir sang with confidence and clarity, admirably accompanied by Gooing, who was equally at home on church organ and electronic keyboard.
It can be stated with confidence that music from Goldfinger has never before been heard in the parish church, let alone at a Tickhill Music Society concert.
It was that sort of evening.
