A large audience at First Presbyterian heard the Mendelssohn Club chorus under Dr Shelp perform Gounod s The Redemption with careful preparation and strong solo work. The reviewer highlights the delicate balance of vocal parts, notes the absence of full orchestral effects, and praises the chorus s unity and clarity.
