AS and A2 Performances

By -
Hi All, 

This is to confirm that your AS/A2 performances will take place on the morning of Friday 27th March 2015 at any time between 8.30am-12.30pm.  Your accompanist (should you require one) will be the legend who is Dr Winter.  You will have time to go over a few things, but if you want a full rehearsal with him, you will need to contact him directly - I will give you details if you want them.  You are also more than welcome to bring your own accompanist if you would prefer, but please let me know.

Whether you are being accompanied or not, please bring a copy of the following to the Music Office before half term:

1) a copy of YOUR music (if you are not singing, then your part without the accompaniment is fine)
2) a copy of any piano accompaniments

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT YOU DO THIS ON TIME.  You could hand this in with your proposed programme (if you haven't done that already).

We can discuss recital times this week, but if you have any special requests, please let me know asap - via email or Twitter, or I will be in on Tuesday.  We can't make any promises, but will do our best to accommodate your requests.

Take ownership and get on it.

These guys turn 50 this year. Obviously none of them is 50 years old, but if you don't know this group, then you should get to know them. Formed in 1968, this all six-piece male vocal ensemble have made a name for their stunning singing, ranging from Renaissance polyphony to arrangement of more current hits. For me, I have always loved going through the huge numbers of arrangements that they have made available to us. Most of them are really approachable by the amateur ensemble, and over the years, some of their arrangements have become real Vocal Ensemble favourites. I try to make a point of teaching And So it Goes  to every cohort, and this, along with Lonesome Road and She's Always a Woman  will remain very dear to past and present members' hearts. The King's Singers have recently released Gold , a three-album compilation to celebrate their 50th Anniversary. Listen to it here . Vocal Ensemble, I look forward to taking you to their concert in January.  ...
