TRINITY BROADS SINGERS - Repps with Bastwick Established in January 2009, Trinity Broads Singers is a friendly community choir that usually performs at least twice a year. We meet on Monday evenings, 7.30 to 9.30, in the Village Hall at Repps with Bastwick, Norfolk. We sing 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). The cost is £5 per session. ************  Trinity Broads Singers (with a couple of friends) ready for their Christmas concert at Repps, December 2018 Thank you to everyone who supported our concert on Saturday, 1st December 2018 at Repps with Bastwick Village Hall. The profits from this concert are still being counted, but they will be shared between Toilet Twinning (registered charity No. 265464) & Norfolk Deaf Association (registered charity No.1146883) Here's a song from our concert: the African American Spiritual, UPCOMING CHOIR DATES: Monday 19th November Monday 26th November Monday 3rd December Monday 10th December Our 2019 singing season starts on Monday 7th January HERE'S THE LINK TO OUR FACEBOOK PAGE 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 singers. 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)
