…..it is the In Flagrante Choir Summer Gala Concert!
One Night Only!
As it is our 10th Anniversary, this year’s concert will be special in so many ways.
The ticket price remains the same at £10 each (non-returnable and non-transferrable). This includes a free glass of champagne for our guests on arrival. All being well and the weather is kind to us, they can take their drinks into the sunken garden from 19:00 where they will be entertained until the start of the concert at 20:00.
Please order your tickets (up to your 4 ticket allocation) by 14 June by sending your guests names to janmharvey@icloud.com and paying the funds into the choir bank account with your name as a reference. After 14 June we will know how many spare tickets will be available and those who wish to buy extra tickets will be contacted and can then purchase the extra allocation as above.
We will stand out from the crowd in our all black outfits (with black sparkles, if you wish), so we can easily be gathered up a quarter of an hour before the concert commences to get ourselves in readiness.
Now we have set the scene, we need to make this a concert to remember from our performance and singing. Look as if you are enjoying it.
Remember to ask yourself, “Am I pleasure to watch?”
Your energy and enthusiasm will infiltrate the audience and lift the performance even more than you thought possible!
With that in mind, we do have to sing as a choir – that means singing together in harmony as directed by our great leader!
The only way that can be done is to LOOK UP and watch Eamonn who will guide every step of the way.
You may be thinking, “How can I look up when I need to have my head in my music?”
Well, the answer is simple; learn the words as much as possible.
If you can’t learn all of them, learn the parts you know are critical with dunce holes and important cut offs.
Hold your music (folders or iPads) at waist height and keep your head up and just let your eyes look down every now and then but mostly have them looking at Eamonn.
It is critical that you look up and watch at the end of the songs. You do not want to be the one who stands out and is still holding that last note or singing in a dunce hole!
You will not only let yourself down, but the whole choir. No pressure!!!
Thank you for the Days will be our encore so it must be exquisite. Love the long notes right to the end. ‘..let it wait’ is gentle and ‘believe me’ is tender with extended vowels which sound more choral.
Trillers on The Perch, a bit of self publicity from two of the Steepled Finger Ladies and no it isn't, Jan.
The Range (the RMS House band) are performing at Ham Fair on 13 June around midday. The venue is on Ham Common. Come along as see Amy, Catherine W, Karen & Pauline as the Rangettes.
Savage House goes on general release from 5th June. Filmed at Montacute House and Syon House, and set in the early eighteenth century, it is a tale for today: slightly bawdy, not always laugh-out-loud funny, but beautifully shot. Richard E. Grant and Claire Foy are outstanding in Peter Glanz's darkly satirical comedy-drama.
Awarded ★★★★★ by The Times, which called it "tragic, moving and quite brilliant."
