Banbury Choral Society receives standing ovation during 'seamless' performance at St Mary's Church

The society, led by musical director Jonathan Kingston, performed the Carmina Burana in front of a packed-out audience.

They were joined by a choir made up of Warriner School students under the tutelage of music teacher Dylan McCaig and percussionists from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire.

Michele Hunter from the Banbury Choral Society said: “The collaboration between musicians and singers was seamless due to the watchful, caring and detailed attention from Jonathan in his conducting.

"The percussionists from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire brought a thrilling excitement and heartbeat to the piece and the pianists were the ‘Royal Icing’ on the cake - some extraordinary talent under one roof.

“The packed house gave us a standing ovation and everyone left with a bounce in their step and a smile on their face.”
