On Tuesday evening 18th July North Leamington School held a very successful summer concert where their students’ performances ranged from soloists playing flute, piano, euphonium and singing to rock bands, pop choir, steel pans and their wind band.
The finale involved Village Voices performing with the school’s pop choir and wind band to give a great rendition of You Will Be Found from the musical ‘Dear Evan Hanson’ and the popular track Don’t Stop Believing.
On Saturday evening the 15th July at St Paul’s Church, Friars St, Warwick, Village Voices presented Summer at St. Paul’s; a programme of varied choral music spanning the last 400 years and across the globe.
The choir was delighted to welcome Edward Button from the King’s Singers, who sang Eternal Source of Light Divine, accompanied by David Pugh on trumpet.
Other soloists included the very talented young flautist, Sophie Robertson, plus choir members Linda Hemming and Viv Hadley accompanied on piano by Julie Edwards. Also Julia Lea accompanying herself on guitar.
Very many thanks to Kieron Howe, the choir’s musical director, and pianist Helen Pugh, who accompanied the choir, for making the evening so joyful and successful.
Over £1,000 was raised for the choir’s chosen charity for 2023, Rufus’ Friends’ Fund.
Below is a selection of recordings from the concert:
