As expected of a group which has carved a niche for itself when it comes to exceptional singing, The Sixteenth Angelic Choir (SAC) last Sunday thrilled invited guests and patrons at a short orchestra and singing show.
Dubbed ‘Chamber’ Concert, the show was a restricted one, held only for special guests and patrons of the Takoradi professional singing group.
The organisers of the Chamber Concert told The Chronicle Chorale Page that the show was held to build and establish a strong relationship with both prospective and patrons of the group.
It was also to introduce the group’s Christmas show, scheduled for December 25.
The concert started with the orchestra players, ranging between the ages of 6 to 16 years, displaying their skills and talents with the viola, violin, clarinet, cello and other instruments, to the amazement of the invited audience.
Playing ‘Glade’, an orchestra piece with a clarinet doing ad libertum (meaning the clarinet soloist doing his own thing), it was a sight to watch the young sixteenth orchestra players demonstrate why the choir is the only singing group with an accompanying instrumental orchestra in Ghana.
Accompanied by piano and orchestra players, the singers joined in to perform Hymnal Number 64 and 613, as rearranged by the Founder and Music Director of the group, Joseph Kingsley Amusah, in a special way, to underscore why the group is led by professionals.
Dressed in African wear, the singers performed the ‘Weon Woano’ (Guard Your Mouth) piece, which was composed by the founder to kick-start the African pieces lined up for the show.
With Opera singer Maame Ekua Manful doing the contouring work of Weon Mano, the response from the choir was excellent and touching.
The Weon Mano is in key signature of E Major and time signature 4/4.
Another African piece performed by the singers, and accompanied by the orchestra, was the work of Mr. Paa Kwesi Ahinkoah, Conductor and Music Director of the group.
His piece, ‘Pae Mu Ka’, with time signature of 8/8 and in key signature of F Major, was an excellent performance by the singers at the Chamber Concert. 
The concert coincided with awards extended out to patrons and special guests for their support to the group.
20 new patrons, who showed up to throw their support behind the group, were also inducted into office, with Mr. David Amusah elected as President of the patrons.
The Vice President position went to Bishop Bernard Ogyiri-Asare, with Lawyer David Takyi as Secretary.
Other members are Madam Mary Etiba, Mr. Joseph Amoah and Bright Kofi Ladonu amongst others.
