Hinsdale Men’s Chorus travelled from Chicago, USA, for its tour of Australia. Considering distanced travelled, expectations were high.
But the delivery lacked passion and a difference in dynamics—perhaps understandable; half the ensemble felt ill.
The audience enjoyed the songs, though, even applauding after one. I found the “Hallelujahs” of “Majesty and Glory” uplifting. The key? Conviction.
