St Combs Choir FestivalLast weekend Ugie Voices took part in St Combs first choir festival, which was held in St Combs Community Hall.
Six choirs took part and It was so enjoyable to listen to such varied programmes. To end the Festival all the choirs sang to the audience which everyone enjoyed and many of the audience joined in. it was all very well organised and a great success. We hope this was the first of many Choir Festivals. We do take part in other events apart from our Spring and Christmas concerts.
We went to Abbey Court Care home, Mintlaw to sing carols and we also went there to sing a variety of songs for the residents. We attended a Sparkle Event held at North East Scotland Fraserburgh Campus. This event was held to raise funds for the Student Pantry. Our Spring concert was well received. We performed a variety of pieces including ,What a Wonderful World, Westering Home, the Humming Chorus from Madam Butterfly and Gershwins' Summertime. There was also an interesting Contrapunto which involved cats,dogs, cuckoos and owls!! There were a
lot of laughs learning this one! We also performed a new work by Phillip Cooke "Mystery of Light" and Phillip himself was in the audience. The evening was tinged with a little sadness as we said goodbye to our MD Matthew McVey, who is heading for Bury St Edmunds to take up a very prestigious post of Organ Scholar at St Edmundsbury Cathedral.We all wish him the best in his new position. This young man has a very bright future ahead of him, of that we have no doubt. He has been a wonderful MD and will be very much missed. Many thanks to all who attended our concert and we hope you enjoyed listening as much as we enjoyed singing to you. |
