Harmonia Youth Singers
Double Talk - what a wonderful, exciting opening you made with this piece! Your rhythm was excellent, with the brisk tempo strongly established and well held.
Amani Utupe - Easy and sweetly tuned harmonies were very well maintained. Your tone is very well blended which means you are all listening brilliantly. Attention to conductor is excellent and it is lovely to see your smiles too.
Wade in the Water - REALLY good to hear such confident and clear solos
Believe - You have really thought all aspects of your perofmance through - presentation, movement, costume and repertoire have all been most carefully worked through - congratulations!
Mary Mack - Crisp rhythm was lovely and tight. Interplay of the different parts was lively and wonderfully clear.
You have a terrific sense of performance and your staging is enticing and most enjoyable. Do it all more!
Harmonia Rainbow Pop Band
Lion Sleeps Tonight - This is a listening group who respond well to each other. The ability to sustain a rhythm whilst singing or playing kazoo is very impressive. Again, this group is well presented and the help from the furry friends is really charming.
Take me Out - An imaginative use of tuned percussion and their varying timbres. The syncopated solo was very rhythmic. The rallentando was well managed showing htat you really listen to each other - playing with your ears!
These young people are privileged to have a really great start to their musical careers. Use your skills to investigate jazz or showtunes as you have great rhythmic and listening skills.
