Finally, in spite of several cancellations due to unforeseen circumstances, the Featherston Gentlemen’s Singers and the Songbirds are ready to raise their voices in song.
“Our first performance will be at Aratoi on the 6th of October, where some of Rita Angus’s paintings are being exhibited, so this inspired our title “Singing with Rita” says Marguerite Tait Jamieson.
The repertoire will be varied, ranging from Gershwin to Bacharach as well as more traditional settings of folk, gospel, music theatre and classical. Both choirs will present brackets of songs as well as some combined numbers. One old favourite that always has to be included is “Bridge Over Troubled Waters.”
The concert at Aratoi will begin at 4.30pm with drinks in the foyer prior to the performance beginning at 5.30 pm.
The concert will be repeated on the 8th of October in the Anzac Hall at Featherston at 4.30pm.
Tickets are $20.00 and can be purchased from Aratoi Reception or from info@songbirds.co.nz. Featherston Tickets can be reserved by emailing longwood@xtra.co.nz
