A campus ‘Two Choirs’ Festival: in miniature!

If you are around on campus between 5.30 – 6pm later today, you may hear the strains of choral singing emanating from a stage on the Registry Gardens.

Don’t panic: it will be us.

Ahead of their combined concert in two days’ time, both the Chamber and Cecilian Choirs will be performing a few choice morsels, selected from our programme for Friday night.

Assuming the weather is fine – and, as of the time of writing, it’s hard to say, so mercurial is the sky outside my office window – come along for half an hour of choral singing in the (positive spin alert:) bright summer sunshine, including pieces by Tallis, Saint-Saens, the odd madrigal, Finzi and a couple of surprises.

Hopefully there’ll be a few photos of the event which I’ll post here afterwards. Here’s hoping we won’t be singing in the rain…
