In this episode, our guest is Michael Nii Lantey Lamptey, Director of Dynamic Choir, Ghana. We talk about his remarkable journey in rebuilding an ensemble.
Fantastic discussion! I'm eager to see an even larger and more diverse panel in the future, where all voices that matter in the choral space can be heard and shared. Great job by the host, and I hope to see even more energy and liveliness brought to the conversation next time!
Unassuming..... Just encounter him and you will never forget. God bless you Mr Nii Lantey Lamptey for the efforts you are investing in choral music. Your depth is amazing.
52:00 - 52:07 I was at your concert and what you worried about was manifested. It was labourous for the audience to follow along. At one point, someone seated behind me asked in Ga "...ah, they have taken their books again?". At that point they were expecting songs they could sing along or relate to (like Newlove Annan's 'Choose you this day). The programme ended and it felt like an anti-climax. You can still tell the story of Christ from local compositions that the average choral lover can relate to. I also felt you missed a golden opportunity to honour the late Osei Boateng (as he had passed on earlier in the day) by rendering his famous 'Gyataburuwa'. You are doing a good job, by the way. 🙌🏾
Many thanks for the feedback, it makes for a balanced review of the event. We have also had an overwhelming number of contrary opinions and testimonies. We take it all in good faith and seek to improve. Watch out for our 10th Anniversary Grand Concert, perhaps you may enjoy that better.
Great conversation 🫡. Looking forward to a bigger panel. All voices that matter in the choral space should be heard. And the host must try and add a pinch of liveliness next time.
