Sing With Us!
There’s a great opportunity to learn from the best and have a really good sing at the same time, on Saturday 13th September, when King’s Singer Chris Bruerton comes to Edington Priory Church to lead a choral workshop for Edington Arts.
If you can read music and have some experience of choral singing, this will be a day you won’t want to miss. Chris’s huge experience in precision unaccompanied singing and his joy of teaching will combine to give us the skills and confidence to perform (to friends and family) pieces by four very different composers from the King’s Singers’ library: the 16th century polyphonist Orlando di Lassus, Ralph Vaughan Williams’ ‘Over hill, over dale’, Eric Whittaker’s beautiful ‘This Marriage’ and an arrangement of Greensleeves by former King’s Singer Bob Chilcott.
We won’t always be on our own; our good friend Chris Totney will be providing support and piano accompaniment when needed. Anyone who would like copies in advance can contact Anne Curtis on 07977 464375 or anne@edingtonarts.org; the cost of the day at £25 includes music hire and refreshments on arrival and at mid morning. We’re aiming for a well-balanced choir, and have spaces in all voice parts though unusually, we’re a bit short of sopranos and basses, but we’d love to welcome you whatever voice you are. The more the merrier!
The day runs from 10-4, preceded by registration and followed by tea and cakes to which anyone and everyone is invited before a quick run-through of all we’ve accomplished.
You can book your place online at www.edingtonarts.org/whats-on or by phoning Anne on 01380 831425 | 07877 464375.
