Tamar Valley Male Voice Choir Concert
A special concert by the Tamar Valley Male Voice Choir, featuring guest solos performed by soprano Pippa Macdougall, will take place in St Bridget’s Church in Bridestowe on Friday, September 21st.
A member of the Cornish Federation of Male Voice Choirs, TVMVC was founded in 2006 with just nine members. Now having more than 30 singers, the choir undertakes a very full programme of successful concerts each year, singing songs from the traditional male voice repertoire, numbers from musicals, spirituals and sacred songs including some rousing Welsh Hymns, folk and modern pieces with names from such as the Beatles and the Everly Brothers appearing in the repertoire.
Director of music, Rosemary Cole, writes and arranges music specifically for the choir and she has recently been granted the British Empire Medal for her services to the performing arts in the South West.
The concert at St Bridget’s, which starts at 7.30pm (doors open at 7pm), will raise funds for the church and the Alzheimer’s Society. Tickets cost £8 to include a glass of wine and refreshments; Under 15s £5. Tickets available from Riverside Stores and Post Office, The White Hart, Bridestowe and Posh Paints in St James’ Street, Okehampton. For more information call Georgina Hodgson on 01837 861183.
