A Celebration of Choral Favourites
70th Anniversary Season
Aberdeen Bach ChoirMusical Director Paul Tierney
Joseph Beech - Organ
In this, our 70th anniversary year, Aberdeen Bach Choir was delighted to bring you the first of two very special concerts in St Machar's Cathedral. On Saturday 25th April we performed an indulgent selection of favourite and well known choral works in celebration of our 70 years.
We were accompanied on this auspicious occasion by Joseph Beech, Sub-Organist at Durham Cathedral. Joseph is the principal accompanist to Durham Cathedral Choir, playing the organ for daily services in addition to the choir's schedule of broadcasts, concerts, recordings and tours. He also assists the Master of the Choristers in his work conducting the choir, and recruiting and training the choristers.
Our soloists on this occasion were taken from the ranks of the Choir and they are identified on the Singers page. Accompanying the Choir and organ in the Monteverdi were violinists Guerra Crockett and Bryan Dargie.
