12 December 2009 will be a day to remember as the assembled host of the West Country’s finest gospel music talent joyfully  delivered “Handel’s Messiah – Soulful Celebration” to a full house at the Colston Hall!  The production exceeded the expectations of artists and audience alike as the venue buzzed from start to finish to the sights and sounds of every performance from the dynamic dancing of Dunamis to the rousing, roof lifting rendition of the Hallelujah Chorus.

It’s been an incredible journey with months of hard work culminating in a fitting tribute to the dedication, commitment and sheer determination of all who contributed to making the event an overwhelming success. We thank God for the vision and inspiration spurring Renewal on  to deliver this ambitious project.

Each time when called to the stage Renewal turned in a sparkling performance under the leadership of Kim our  inspirational Choral Director on top form. The lively Renewal “house band” also rose to the occasion, expressively supporting each and every singer under the steady leadership of Music Director Philip Barclay complemented by exuberant contributions from Nigel Ipinson-Fleming on keyboards supporting a number of fine vocal performances.  

The whole event was well paced and rounded off by Bernard Morris –  the perfect compere for the occasion. Thank you and well done to all who contributed to the resounding success.  Let’s all look forward now to what 2010 has in store for Renewal Choir and friends.

Special thanks to Leilani Winslade and Tânia Neves of Lollipop Studios UK who captured a few golden moments on camera. Click on the link below to view the picture gallery and obtain your keepsake images of the memorable evening.

Renewal Reaches out to the Community through Dialect Radio

On Saturday 9 February a cross section of sopranos, altos and tenors took a visit to Dialect Radio, a Bristol based community radio station based at the Commonwealth Museum at Temple Meads.  Accompanied by nimble-fingered Nigel on the keys, the choir rendered two songs to bring a short but uplifting praise session to the listeners of Bristol…. Thanks Lisa and Anthea from Dialect Radio for making it happen….Keep up the good work!
