Songbirds at The Pheasantry - 9 October 2016

[John]

Mary-Jess was one of four soloists at this wonderful concert in the intimate setting of The Pheasantry in Kings Road, Chelsea.
The others were Jennifer Coleman, Joanna Forest and Viktoria Tocca from Sweden. All of them sang brilliantly, each showcasing a different aspect of the eclectic world of classical crossover music.

Sorry, I was too enrapt to write anything down at the time, but Mary-Jess's set included 'Above the Clouds' (a beautiful new song composed by Chris Broom), 'Don't Cry Alone' (no way I could forget that one, as Mary-Jess gave me a special mention), 'Let it Go' (in English and Chinese), Glorious (glorious as always) and Spring Ballet (which never fails to excite me no matter how many times I have heard Mary-Jess sing it - must be approaching double figures by now).

Sitting right by the stage, somehow I wasn't so enrapt to miss the opportunity of taking a few photos

Hello Mike, welcome to the forum
Things have been fairly quiet here lately, but hopefully people will have more to talk about and share with the winter tour.
