A choir from Carlrton received a warm welcome when they performed in front of large numbers in Nottingham’s twin city in Germany, Karlsruhe.
The Carlton Male Voice Choir (CMVC) was received with open arms by the people of Karlsruhe, and received a standing ovation at the conclusion of the main concert in the magnificent StadtKirche where an audience of 600 people came to see and hear earlier this month.
Musical director, Ian Watts, who also planned the musical content, led the choir and was supported by their lead principal accompanist, Roger Holland.
It’s the second time that the Carlton choir has represented Nottingham in Karlsruhe; they first paid a visit to the city back in 1994. It was 24 years ago in 1994, when musical contacts were first made
Cultural visits were made to Ettlingen and Baden Baden in the Black Forest during the visit.
Carlton Male Voice Choir’s marketing manager, Howard Lloyd said: “The choir were hosted by The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) University Chamber Choir and they extended a very warm welcome. CMVC look forward to providing similar hospitality when the KIT choir visits Nottingham in 2019.
“KIT Choir member Nikolaus Indlekofer told CMVC how much they had enjoyed this first link with them. He was looking forward to 2019 and the return visit with his choir to Nottingham.
Carlton MVC’s next concert is at the Nottingham High School at 7.30pm on Saturday, June 23 and is a fundraiser for the NSPCC.
