Tickets £6, bookable on 01603 461649. *************** Here are Trinity Broads Singers, singing IINDONGA ZAJERIKO at our Thorpe Marriott concert, June 2017. ***************** Established in February 2009, Trinity Broads Singers is a friendly community choir that usually performs at least twice a year. We have fun singing good music - glorious unaccompanied harmonies from across the ages and around the world - for the sheer love of it, while aiming to reach our best possible standard of performance. I teach all songs by ear, in an informal but focused atmosphere; there's no need to read music (although I do provide written music, if appropriate, for some songs - for those people who find it helpful). We meet on Monday evenings, 7.30 to 9.30, in the Village Hall at Repps with Bastwick, Norfolk. The cost is £5 per session. Please contact me if you're interested in coming and joining us: we have a FREE TASTER SESSION on Monday 10th July. Come and like our new FACEBOOK PAGE. UPCOMING CHOIR DATES: Monday 26th June NO SESSION ON Monday 3rd July Monday 10th July - FREE TASTER SESSION! Monday 17th July Monday 24th July Monday 31st July Monday 7th August Monday 14th August Monday 21st August NO SESSIONS ON 28TH AUGUST AND 4TH SEPTEMBER Starting again on Monday 11th September The choirs that I lead sing a large and ever-growing repertoire of unaccompanied harmony songs, drawn from a variety of traditions across the centuries and around the world. Our repertoire includes American Shape-Note and gospel music; medieval and renaissance songs from Britain and Europe; English folk songs, carols and West Gallery music; Georgian and Corsican polyphony; and African songs and dance-songs. I often arrange songs for choirs, and occasionally write them; we've also learned and performed songs written by other choir members. The choirs are non-competitive; we sing good music for the sheer love of it, while aiming to reach our best possible standard in performance. I teach all songs by ear, in an informal but focused atmosphere; there's no need to read music (although I do occasionally provide written music, if appropriate, for some songs - for those people who find it helpful).
