Viva Voce: I Sing Out

Viva Voce Sings Out

An opportunity to enjoy this great choir, helping a great cause

Viva Voce contains members from all walks of life who share a common purpose. They just love to sing! Their determination continued throughout the pandemic with online rehearsals and recorded videos. As an awardwinning choir, their annual concerts in aid of local charities have always been popular. They are now back again with a programme that promises to be full of foot tapping, iconic songs and, most of all, enjoyment.

This year ‘I Sing Out’ is no exception, with its memorable music. As you’ll see, ‘You Can’t Stop the Beat’! So sit back and relax with a ‘Tequila Samba’ but don’t be a ‘Drunken Sailor’. Hold a ‘Candle in the Wind’ and dream that ‘Impossible Dream’. Enjoy ‘The Sound of Music’, then sit ‘Beside the Seaside’ until you can imagine the ‘Lion King’ playing a ‘Tribute to Queen’.

‘Never turn anyone away’ is the philosophy behind the Wimborne Community Food Supply, who hope as many people as possible will come to the concert in support of their charity.

The Community Food Supply offers a lifeline in difficult times, preparing 300 meals a week and open Monday to Saturday. However, it is not just about food. Their communal garden and café are places to do some gardening, remember someone special, or enjoy a free drink with someone who cares and listens to them. In all cases the charity builds confidence and gives value to people’s lives.

Can you help too by coming along to the concert on 1st October, 7.30pm, at the Allendale Centre? For tickets, please visit www.ticketsource.co.uk/viva-voce. Limited tickets will be available on the door.
