Choral Concert
The Martinborough group is mainly an acappella choir, but a few of the songs are accompanied either by Vicki Jones on bass, or by Murray Parker on guitar. They will open the concert with the first set, followed by ‘Novella’, a South Wairarapa women’s vocal quintet, who accompany themselves on guitar, ukulele and mandolin.
The second half of the concert will start with the Featherston Gentlemen Singers, conducted by Marguerite Tait-Jamieson, and accompanied by Martin Lawrence. The Martinborough Choir will do another set, and the concert will finish with Christmas songs, with audience participation and Dawn Procter at the keyboard.
With three local singing groups full of enthusiasm and energy, this is sure to be a memorable concert and Vicki hopes that it will inspire others to come along in 2014 and try their hand at community singing.
Come along to St Andrew’s Church Hall on Tuesday December 10 at 7.30pm, and prepare to be entertained and inspired. There is a gold coin koha admission and all proceeds will go towards future community singing workshops in Martinborough.
