    Disappointing Choir

    by grandmothermoon on 4/21/14Centennial Hall - Tucson

    What beauty and movement in a choir! What wonderful arrangements. Great musicians! Too bad the sound was so lame that the soloists could not be heard above the choir….and the whole choir sounded like they were in another room rather than right in front of us. We were about half way back from the stage and I found myself straining to hear them. I wanted to feel the music…….not happening….so no one danced or hardly moved in their chairs. I know that it is usual for only a part of a choir to tour. Would have liked a few more voices….was expecting the whole compliment. Good Friday upliftment was my idea……..and I was disappointed. The concert had great potential…..unfulfilled.

    Soweta Gospel Choir was amazing

    by booksinc on 3/1/14E.J. Thomas Hall - The University of Akron - Akron

    The singing was excellent and the costumes gorgeous! I was amazed at the dancing! The men kicked as high as Irish dancers and were so agile!! The drumming and guitars added much to the performance. I think there was a problem with the keyboard, but it didn't stop the performance!

    by Architectbt on 2/7/14Curtis M Phillips Center for Performing Arts - Gainesville

    A night of quality performance and obvious joy spread by the entertainers. I loved the songs the best when there was only one or two accompanying instruments and liked the least, the electric guitar accompaniment. Their sound as a group is so pure that the instruments actually had a tendency to distort their harmonies. However, there was enough in the two acts to make any critical audience member happy. I would like to see them again....they are very special.

    Soweto Gospel Disappoints

    by Beth123Beth456 on 2/7/14Curtis M Phillips Center for Performing Arts - Gainesville

    Very average show. Really disappointed as I expected much better vocals. Sound was a disaster.
