The concert was built around the stunning voice of counter-tenor, Solomon Hayes. Solomon was in his last year at K.E.S. but we managed to schedule this concert between his A levels and his moving to Portsmouth to sing in the Cathedral Choir. He impressed many people with his lunchtime recitals at Holy Trinity, Stratford and was memorable in his Handel arias at Compton Verney in 2014 September. |
