Five classically trained female singers combine Their flexible voices and powerful stage presentation in Their own unique way. Seemingly effortless and simple, every gesture and every sound used to good effect, adventurous from beginning to end. The singers sang togeTher in The NeTherlands Youth Choir. They hit it off so well There that The ambition developed to continue togeTher in female a cappella repertoire; a relatively rare genre very dear to The hearts of all five. The top quality displayed since by Wishful Singing – both aurally and visually – makes The ensemble unique in The world. The repertoire ranges from modest works from The Renaissance and Baroque eras to swinging versions of golden oldies such as Mister Sandman. The ensemble provides a full evening’s entertainment that leads The audience from one surprise to The next. The emotions summoned up vary from hushed poignancy to screams...    lessan>

What have we done? We shall meet in heaven This outdoor performance was The culmination of a six-week project which creates a choir from scratch for one night only. Each winter and summer, Chris Rowbury gaThers a random bunch of singers from in and around Ipswich. There are no auditions and all songs are taught and learnt by ear. Usually eight songs are learnt in six two-hour sessions and in The summer are performed outdoors near Ipswich. http://chrisrowbury.com  lessan>

[A version of this article first appeared as a post on my blog From The Front of The Choir]   Sometimes (yes, I admit it), I make a mistake when I’m teaching a new song. It may be a wrong note, wrong timing or wrong phrasing.   ...
