Invitation to ‘Come and Sing’ in Leek
'Don’t miss this you’ll really love it so treat yourself to a truly uplifting experience and ‘Come and Sing’
An invitation to ‘come and sing’ has been made by a Leek-based group.
The Phoenix Singers are celebrating their 40th birthday and they want you to join in the festivities with them.
Forty years of singing for the people of Leek, Staffordshire, and the surrounding Moorlands, but trips to Italy, Holland Spain and France have frequently featured on their calendar during this time.
A spokeswoman said: “They say ‘Life begins at 40’ so after a restricted, but nevertheless far from dormant 18 months, The Phoenix are now bouncing back full of life and vigour. ‘Come and Sing’ is our invitation to singers and wishful would-be singers to raise the roof on St Luke’s Church.
“What is more, singing is good for your health and well being making this a win, win event. Come and join in with the choir and let conductor Ashley Thompson lead you gently though ‘The New Gloria’. Ashley, whose lively and accessible approach will guarantee a friendly and enjoyable day.
“Vivaldi’s masterpiece has been re-imagined to fit the popular music styles of the 21st century. The work oozes blasts of rock, jazz and funk interspersed with lilting pop ballads and fast Baroque. It’s an absolute joy to sing and listen to.
“The workshop will culminate in a performance, by attendees supported by the choir, for friends, relatives and music lovers or the just curious. The Junior Choir, Young Phoenix will welcome young people from the age of seven to join them in an adjacent room to polish their distinct contribution.
“Don’t miss this you’ll really love it so treat yourself to a truly uplifting experience and ‘Come and Sing’.”
The fun day will be held on Saturday, March 19 , in St Luke’s Church, Fountain Street. It starts at 9.30am for sign-in, workshop from 10am until 3pm with a lunch break at 12pm. Refreshments provided. The cost is £10 which includes £5 for hire of music, this will be refunded if music is returned.
