‘CONDUCT HALLELUYA’
‘Helping the children and young people of Leicester and Leicestershire to sing…through the Chorister Outreach Programme.’
Do you remember ‘Sing Halleluya’ last November?
Do you remember Rupal Rajani learning to sing the ‘Halleluya Chorus’ live on Radio Leicester?
Do you remember that 400 singers came to the Cathedral, and that it was so good, it was broadcast nationally?
Do you remember a substantial amount of money being raised for ‘Children in Need’?
Well, it is all happening again!!!
This time ‘Conduct Halleluya’…
When? – Friday 18th June 1000hrs -1230hrs.
Where? – Leicester Cathedral
What?- ‘Halleluya Chorus’
‘Surely he hath borne our griefs.’
‘He trusted in God’
‘Amen Chorus.’
The music will be provided or bring your own Watkins Shaw edition of the Messiah.
How? – John Florance will be taught how to conduct the Halleluya Chorus in the weeks before, (and sometimes live on Radio Leicester!) by Stephen Foster.
He will then ‘receive his baton’ and conduct live on the day!
Stephen will rehearse and conduct the other three great pieces in his usual ‘fun style’; the whole thing being recorded by the BBC and going out on the air waves.
Who? - Anyone who would like to sing!
Let’s try and ‘top’ the 400 people from last year.
There will be a charge of £5 for the whole morning, all of which will be going towards funding the Cathedral ‘Chorister Outreach Programme’ for the next year, whereby hundreds of children in local schools are enthused and encouraged to enjoy the art of singing in their own places of learning.
Do let us know if you would like to come, your voice and the number of people you are bringing with you!
LOOKING FORWARD TO A FUN TIME IN A GREAT CAUSE!
