BELVEDERE SINGERS SPRING CONCERT

Anonymous

Fancy a seasonal walk the woods or… just feeling rebellious? Well, you can experience this and more at the Belvedere Singers’ Spring Concert under the baton of our Music Director, Clive Watkiss, at 7.30pm on 16th May at St Mary’s Church, Swanage. Flowers, trees and birds also feature in music by Saint-Saëns (Les Fleurs et Les Arbres) and Stanford (The Bluebird). Saint-Saëns, with the exception of a handful of very well-known works, is perhaps a rather neglected composer in this country, and his lesser-known Ave Maria, composed in 1914, is a subtle and beautiful work not to be missed. There will be choral highlights from Into the Woods by Stephen Sondheim and a medley of social uprising from Les Miserables. We have solo performances from Amy Jerman and Martha Harwood, both Purbeck Youth Music Ambassadors, and our endlessly talented choir accompanist Angus Murray-Brown, will round off an excellent evening of music proving that we all still possess the ‘Rhythm of Life!’
There will be a retiring collection for Forest Holme Hospice.
