We took our choir and orchestra to Hungary to perform two concerts there with Hungarian choirs. It was exhilarating and exhausting. We were working with musicians we’d never met, and the language barrier was profound. SGA were commissioned to film the entire trip, including the many things that didn’t go according to plan, producing a documentary that told the tale of our adventures.
They produced something exceptional. Movingly and sensitively edited, including everything from drone footage to individual cameos subtitled in English and Hungarian, their technical expertise was absolutely superb. They really captured the flavour of our passion project; to use the universal language of music to perform with people from very different backgrounds, coming together in a glorious joint endeavour.
One of the Hungarian choirs recently came to London to sing with us again, and we all watched the documentary together. It received the warmest ovation, and everyone was saying how beautiful it was as a piece of cinema, and a powerful narration of our story.
We can’t recommend SGA too highly, and look forward very much to working with them again soon.
