PAST EVENTS
This page is all about us singing together as a choir. But we do lots of things socially - as well as singing - click here to see us having fun!
Spring Concert 2024
We are 100 strong! And so we've been celebrating this with a lovely selection of songs in St John the Divine in Elmswell.
100th Song Circle member Elaine Vel, from Stowmarket, was our guest of honour. And a packed church watched performances of a wide range of songs from the choir with brilliant solos from Caitlin, Jane and Gemma!
(audio and video will follow in the days to come...)
Three images from our guest photographer: Gavin Mills! Huge thanks to Gavin for turning these images around so fast.
Above: the whole choir seen from the balcony. Below: Elaine is presented with flowers and a term's free rehearsals by Anna!
And finally a look at how full the church was and some of the new lighting effects we deployed ... seen here Colours Of The Wind and Only Time
Christmas Concert 2023
Our third celebration of Christmas took place in December 2023
at St Mary's Church, Woolpit. Our best yet!
Below you can hear some of the great choral highlights and see how amazing the event looked...
Music Theory Classes
During the Autumn term of 2023, Anna offered classes in music theory to members of Song Circle. They were held at Anna's house and this allowed for some additional 'help' by some of the furrier occupants of the house... two of whom insisted on joining in!
Summer Concert 2023
This year's summer concert took place in St Mary's Church in Ixworth and was notable because it featured not one but two unaccompanied pieces for the first time in the history of choir. Both are featured below and we think you'll agree that they sound rather lovely!
Those who attended the concert will also no doubt recall a very moving solo rendition of 'Send In The Clowns' by choir member Frances Brown. It was her first ever solo (*), performed to inspire her grandchildren. And judging by the rapturous applause, she inspired everyone in the audience too!
(*) Anna is always happy to work on songs with aspiring soloists in her private teaching practice
Christmas Concert 2022
We held our second concert at St Peters Church, Thurston surrounded by the wonderful spectacle of the Christmas tree festival.
Songs from the shows and sing-along Christmas carols finished a wonderful year for our choir, along with some amazing Christmas jumpers and outfits.
December 2022
We were asked to perform at a Christmas Fair at the Blackbourne centre in Elmswell.
We donned our best Christmas jumpers and sang carols to all that would listen. We had such a lovely time and it was lovely to be asked to support the event and spread some Christmas cheer.
November 2022
We had a wonderful evening at the Theatre Royal in Norwich where a group of us went to see Gareth Malone on tour. There was singing, dancing, heckling, laughing and much much more. Norwich didn't know what had hit them!
October 2022
We had the pleasure of the wonderful British Mezzo Soprano Diana Moore, supporting us with a full day coaching workshop to help our choir grow and develop.
The day was wonderful with soloists from the choir performing and receiving one to one coaching with Diana herself. It was very emotional, uplifting, fun and entertaining.
Thank you to Diana Moore who supported us and made a truly special day.
