Show 51- Tuesday 19th April and repeat Sat 23rd April

A complete show of the South Devon Choir doing their final rehearsal on Saturday afternoon in Torquay with Orchestra and Soloists, we've been following them for the last 2 and a half months so this is the end result, the actual concert was even better but I wasn't able to record that this time.  Not enough time to play the whole concert rehearsal so I have picked my favourite moments.  the soloists were brilliant and with the orchestra the choir rose to the occasion.  Will explain more in the show.

hope you can listen in.

Show 50- Tuesday 12th April and repeat Sat 16th April

We begin again with a couple of short tracks from St. Paul's, Paignton rehearsing for the Olivet to Calvary performance on Good Friday.  Then we listen in to an early rehearsal of the Spring Choir, which is coming together for the opening of the Tagore Festival, here at Dartington Hall on May 1st, under the guidance and organisation of Festival Producer, Victoria Whelan.  We also have a brief listen to Victoria Chatting to me before the Choir arrived and learn something about what this festival is about.  We finish, as usual, with the South Devon Choir, this week they ran right through the Solemn Vespers, so that's what we are going to hear - a complete run through with piano of Mozart's Solemn Vespers.

Hope you can listen in.
