"I was really happy with the performance of Chimes, and thought the whole concert was really top-notch - especially Under The Veil...when all the juniors came on it sounded like a distant swarm of bees, and then the sound when everyone went for that massive tutti was GIANT - a real orchestral sound and weight, if I can put it that way."
Ben Palmer, composer, "Chimes"

"Such an extraordinary array of talent on show and a marvellous inspiration for young musicians. We were running out of superlatives even before we got to the Gala concert."

"I really enjoyed the concert last night. Gilad was stunning and the choir was magnificent. What an amazing sound - the big chords went right through me! Under the Veil was fantastic... such a wonderful sound out of the choir. It was good to see so many young people involved and having a great time. There was some brilliant playing too. And that piece which sounded like a carillon was stunning. I've run out of adjectives."
