Did our story from Ned Allen, a chorister in the Chapel Choir at Christ’s College, Cambridge inspire you to sing? Alison Breadon of The Leaveners reminds us of the Chamber Music Weekend at Charney Manor in the middle of February.
‘It’s for those who would enjoy tackling some of the gorgeous music from the English tradition so beautifully offered at many Cambridge college evensongs’, she says, ‘but without the pressure of impending performance and with plenty of Quaker worship and friendliness included.’
This year it is the seventeenth such project. ‘There are some who have, I suspect, been coming since the very beginning but new participants are welcomed each year.’ One young participant expected this year will be even smaller than the instrument his father is bringing to play!
And if you want to try your voice, there’s the partnership project between the Leaveners and Woodbrooke which will train Friends who want to lead their meetings in singing groups. That will be at Woodbrooke at the beginning of March.
