fter a good start to 2019 with more new members joining us and some new songs learnt, Stokes Singers are looking forward to the spring season, writes Sue Callow. Currently we’re putting the finishing touches to plans for a singing workshop on Saturday 27th April at St Michael’s Primary School, Stoke Gifford. Our joint musical directors (MDs), Philip Lawrence and Sian Walters, will be joined by Nick Breeze who was Stokes Singers’ first MD when the choir started in June 1993. Starting at 1.30pm, we’ll aim to learn three songs in three hours with our three MDs – quite a feat as there will be some
harmonies to work on, as well as a break for tea and biscuits. The afternoon will end around 4.30pm with a final performance of the songs learnt. The workshop is open to anyone over 18 who would like to try singing in three-part harmony and we’re looking forward to seeing some new faces, as well as welcoming singers from other local choirs, past members of Stokes Singers and our families and friends. If you’d like to come along there are more details on the Stokes Singers website www. stokessingers.org.uk along with information about how to obtain tickets at £5 per person.
