International concert guitarist is special guest at Derbyshire choir's spring fundraiser for church
Singers will be supporting a Derbyshire church with their fundraising spring concert.
Wyns Tor Singers will perform at St John’s Church, Winster on Saturday, May 9 at 7.30pm when proceeds from ticket sales will go to church funds.
The choir will sing a wide range of classical and contemporary music, from well known masters such as Durufle, Grieg and Victoria, to more recent favourites such as Billy Joel and Paul Simon. Of particular note will be a set of Shakespeare’s songs and sonnets set to music by George Shearing, with a distinctly jazzy feel.
Concert guitarist Graham Roberts, from Crich, will be the guest musician. Graham has performed around the world with many national orchestras, and will share some of his extensive repertoire with the audience at Winster. As well as more classical guitar pieces, he has a love of vintage jazz pieces, so there will be something for everyone!
Tickets cost £10 from Winster Post Office, or on the door.
Wyns Tor SIngers are a small chamber choir which performs three or four times a year. The choir are looking to recruit additional sopranos, tenors and basses with good sightreading skills; if you are interested in joining, contact chairman John Wood via email: [email protected]
