Join Vivace Chorus in David Fanshawe’s African Sanctus at Normandy Village Hall, Surrey. If you have sung David Fanshawe’s African Sanctus before you already know its power. Combining highly original music from the composer with tapes of African tribes and musicians creates a unique masterpiece. Join us for a huge treat as we explore some of Fanshawe’s vibrant and moving musical reaction to (and sing alongside) music recorded by him in Egypt, the Sudan, Uganda and Kenya. By way of contrast, we will also sing a couple of choral arrangements of spirituals made by the jazz composer Christopher Norton. It promises to be a thrilling day’s singing. Requirements to join the day are a love of singing and choral music, and £20! What you will receive in return is the hire of the scores, tea and/or coffee, homemade soup and a ploughman’s, the company of others who enjoy singing and a day of music led by our Music Director, Jeremy Backhouse. Application form downloadable from http://www.vivacechorus.org Registration starts at 10am. |

Do you sing in the shower? When was the last time exercised your singing voice
in public? Would you like to join others in raising the roof with song? Come and Sing events aim to let people blow away their vocal cobwebs and experience the great fun and satisfaction of singing as part of a group. Led by a trained animateur, who is expert in singing for pleasure, each event will give you the basics you need to sing from breathing technique to singing with others in different parts. You will also be given information to help you find local singing opportunities whether this means joining a local chamber choir or choral society or having professional singing lessons. Come and Sing! events have taken place throughout England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales in past years. The events in Northern Ireland were part of The Music Experience, a community development programme run by Making Music and supported by BT and the Arts Councils of England, Wales and Northern Ireland
