Burgate Singers April 2012

 

Rachmaninov - Vespers and Elgar The Music Makers

 

St Mary’s Church Burgate

7.30.pm 21st. April 2012

 

After the huge success of their December Concert in the Corn Hall, the Burgate Singers move to Burgate Church for their Spring Concert, where they will perform Sergei Rachmaninov’s Vespers. The All Night Vigil – often described as his greatest musical achievement, it was one of his own favourite compositions. The other work is Edward Elgar’s thrilling setting, for contralto soloist and choir, of Alfred o’Shaughnessy’s poem The Music Makers.

If you love music and singing  and like a challenge do come and join us. There are no auditions. You don’t have to be able to sight-read. Don’t sit at home saying I used to love singing, but I haven’t done any for ages. Come along a give it a try. You’ll be guaranteed a warm and friendly welcome. You’ll be surprised at what you can achieve. And you’ll have the enormous pleasure of learning and performing wonderful music, under the expert guidance of our conductor, Alain Judd.

 

We rehearse on Sundays from 4pm -7 pm in Burgate Village Hall. Why not give it a go?
