Riverside Singing Studio - Auriga Capella

OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE

Auriga Capella was awarded an 'Outstanding Performance' (the highest category) for their recent entry in the NORFOLK COUNTY MUSIC FESTIVAL.

Adjudicator, Lin Marsh, described their performance as exceptional, both artistically and technically.

The first song, sung 'a cappella', was the Hebridean folk song, An Eriskay love lilt.
Lin March commented that the performance had a beautiful opening with some strong ensemble work and lovely solo singing (Lily-Jane). Dynamics were very effective, with a lovely ending.

This was followed by California Dreamin', by the Mamas and Papas.
The vocal performance was considered authentic in style, tone and note approach. 'Parts very secure and balance excellent. Such a unified sound. You show great vocal control'.

Mississippi mud written in 1927 by Harry Barris and James Cavanaugh was the choir's final item.
Lin March described the performance as 'Rhythmic, fun, and accurate. The musical staging worked beautifully, never getting in the way of vocal quality'.

Well done, Auriga Capella!
