International Choir Ho Chi Minh City, Vivaldi & Mozart Performance

The International Choir of Ho Chi Minh City performed an outstanding rendition of two well known classical pieces as well as a handful of more contenprary airs. Huyen performed the significant Alto Solo parts of Mozart's Coronation Mass and Vivaldi's Gloria. Divine pieces both, and a real pleasure to sing. The Conservatoire was a perfect venue for this classical work and the accompanying orchestra made for two very special evenings.

A quote from a long time obsever of this choir stated: "This was the best ever performance by this choir, the orchestra was really slick and the soloists really shone out." (Tim English) He was not alone with this kind of sentiment; many regulars in the audience commented with similar pros.
