The most delightful and at the same time the most amaz ing events on the programme were those which featured the soprano boys. It is not exaggerating to say that they sang like ar.gels—or as one would imagine angels could sing.”—The Star. Vancouver. “If you were a millionaire you would have them sing in the Massey Hall for a whole week. Easy singing, expressive beyond description or praise; singing which is pure, faultless, perfectly bal anced, clear and steady as the light of a beautiful planet, the glorious tone bore the words straight to your heart.”—Evening Telegraph. Toronto. “The apex of choral achievement »s surely exemplified by the Westminster Glee Singers. Every item was a musical gem; whether rendered by the boys and men together or by either group it had the liquid loveliness of a clear running brook.” —Chronicle. Halifax.
