Colin Davey welcomes 30 young
singers and 3 trainee music leaders to start to rehearse 'Dona
Nobis Pacem' and 'No wars will stop us singing' for a concert
performance on 3 November (just 7 short weeks away)!
Getting the singers
Colin Davey (Musical Director) and Tony
Hales(project leader) have been busy letting young people know about
the opportunity to join the new choir. Posters and leaflets have
been distributed to primary and secondary schools in Fareham and Colin
has attended some year-group assemblies to promote the idea. The local
Newspaper 'THE NEWS' published an excellent supporting article.
Trainee music leaders
One of the key
committments made by Fareham Philharmonic Society has been the
recruitment and training of older young people who want to develop
their skills as music leaders.
Lisa Kay, Emily Seall and Sonia Exelby will lead sections of the choir,
helping them to develop their musicality.
Performance pieces
The first performance will be with
Fareham Philharmonic Choir in their concert of 'War and Remembrance' to
be performed in Holy Trinity Church, Fareham on 3 November 2007.
The young singers will perform with the adults in 'Dona Nobis Pacem' by
David Fanshawe described by the composer
as ‘… a limitless horizon of hope for the future and love for the
world’. The youngsters will also sing 'No wars will stop us singing' by
Don Black - their first 'solo' gig!
