Danbury-on-ice

Many members of Writtle Singers braved the elements to sing carols at Danbury Park with a goodly gathering of children and their families. The children lit up the proceedings with the wonderful 'angel' lanterns that they had made during the day.
The organisers have sent this picture with a message of thanks.
"People....thought it was lovely, especially with the snow!"

Boaring

It's the half-glasses that do it.....

Did you hear this?

One afternoon during our Yorkshire tour I slid away to catch up with an old friend whilst many people took the opportunity to visit Harlow Carr RHS gardens. I wonder what you heard???
Anything like this??? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8267151.stm

Writtle Singers visits Cambridge

9.30 in Writtle on a lovely sunny Saturday morning and it's all aboard the coach. Truthfully is raining a bit by the time we get to Cambridge but that does not dampen the enthusiasm to get to Gonville and Caius College for our rehearsal



It seems everyone is in Cambridge, all going in the opposite direction and for most it's graduation day!


The chapel is a peaceful haven from the bustle outside


Once the rehearsal is over, the onset of showers does not dampen our day, rather with the offer of "Free and Dry" our concert in the chapel has an extra selling point.


Whether it was that or super advanced publicity but more and more people kept streaming through the doors of the chapel until all the seats were taken.





The concert of excerpts of Vaughan Willams and Byrd masses with folk song arrangements and the beautiful Holst partsongs was greeted by an enthusiastic audience and they were treated to Christine Gwynn's arrangement of the Overture to Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro. http://www.cagmus.org.uk/

The generous audience gave over £320 to the Romsey Mill Charity http://bit.ly/4gadIi who we were supporting, thank you very much.


After the concert the sun was shining again and there was more time to take in Cambridge before meeting up again for our evening meal









Fully replete it's back on the coach and returning exhausted to Writtle






Verdict? An altogether brilliant day!

If you missed the concert and would like to hear some of the music that we performed plus some that we didn't then the concert is on 11th July. http://www.writtlesingers.org/
