MUSIC AND ART
Saturday 2 July
The Holy Spirit Mass Phoenix Chorale performs The Holy Spirit Mass by Kim André Arnesen, plus works by Wilberg, Chilcott, Rutter, Fauré and Elgar, with music director James Parkinson, and organist Mark Smith. Kim André Arnesen was born in 1980 in Norway and is one of the world’s most frequently performed contemporary, choral composers. His biography says: Although an avid follower of MTV and a huge fan of The Cure at ten years old, he also studied classical piano, was a chorister in the Nidaros Cathedral Boys’ Choir and was later educated at the Music Conservatory in Trondheim. His music has sold in 6-figure numbers and been performed in more than 30 countries. The Holy Spirit Mass was
commissioned in commemoration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation in 2017. Its themes include mercy, praise, peace and ‘the work looks forward in hope of a more united future by focusing on what we have in common’. This wonderful work has something for everyone – it is in turn exquisite, calm, glorious, and powerful. Like a film score, it leads you through the emotional ups and downs and twists of a story. 7.30pm at St Peter and The Holy Apostles, Wyndham Square, Plymouth, PL1 5EG. Tickets: Adults £14 on the door (£12 in advance at www.ticketsource.co.uk); Children: free entry. For more details visit plymouthphoenixchorale.org
Saturday 9 July
Join the University of Plymouth Choral Society at St Paul’s Church, Yelverton, under the direction of Helen Porter, for a fun-filled day of choral singing with music accompaniment from Mary MazurPark. Understand and solve issues, such as why intonation slips, how to avoid pushing high notes, sing effectively in chest register, sing long notes without running out of breath, and avoid vocal fatigue. Be prepared for hard work, nonstop singing and a lot of fun! This year
Helen celebrates 30 years of coaching singers, choirs and vocal ensembles. Her career began in the theatre as a composer and musical director, coaching actors in a cappella singing. She has been vocal coach on all Helen Chadwick Song Theatre productions since 2010, including at the Royal National Theatre (2015). As a singer/pianist she is currently touring with her new solo show ‘Unexpected Song’. She is also the music director of the Big Jazz Choir
