I was privileged to see and hear the Lithuanian choir Saluto, (report, Gazette & Herald), as they made their UK debut in Chippenham on Saturday, July 4, at The Cause Music and Arts Centre. They were supported by Chippenham’s world music choir, Lingmara, who recently visited Kaunus as guest of Saluto.

This truly was a beautiful experience for all those in the audience who were entranced by the versatility of both choirs, and were spellbound by the occasion. This profoundly moving concert was gloriously alive with a feeling of collaboration and celebration.

All those who made this possible should take a bow. What a wonderful evening.
