"Adele Bates deserves a mention for some transcendent vocal moments."
TOTAL THEATRE Review, Berlinernacht, May 2011
"This concert by some of Brighton's top classical musicians was packed with an enthusiastic young audience, held rapt during each piece of music, then whooping their appreciation....Soprano Adele Bates performed a series of calmly compelling English and French songs. The eerie simplicity of Vaughan Williams's The Sky Above The Roof was a highlight."
