Review:	Dita Gevans, “Youthful show of fine form”, West Australian, 8 Feb. 1990, p.49. “The 41st Intervarsity Choral Festival ended with the Festival Choir and the WA Youth Orchestra joining forces in a concert that was sold out. The choir – 150 singers from several Australian university choirs – produced an expansive and mellow sound based on well-controlled dynamics and carefully shaded tone colour. More attention could have been paid to clearer diction … The choir  coped remarkably well [in the Handel], particularly during the final movement. Throughout the evening the WA Youth Orchestra not only proved the ideal support for the singers but also showed exceptional skill …”
