SPRING 2022
Local community choir, the New Egham Singers (NES), performed their Spring Concert on Saturday 9th April to an appreciative audience at The Rose Theatre (St Mary’s School, Ascot). They were joined by representatives of Englefield Green Child Contact Centre, part of the National Association of Child Contact Centres (NACCC), the charity who will benefit from proceeds from this, and the Christmas concert later in the year. Ali Watts from the Centre told the audience about the work they do to support children locally, and the need for funds to support their work.
The concert, compered by Steven Spencer, with Musical Director Dr Guy Bunce and accompanist Jonny Lane, performed a range of wonderfully upbeat pieces reflecting the ‘feel-good-factor’ as things return to a semblance of normality for the choir. This included Build Me Up Buttercup, I’m into Something Good and a personal favourite of the Musical Director, Sweet Home Chicago. Members of the choir even swapped into dark glasses for this piece! The audience were also treated to a beautiful solo rendition of ‘I dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls” by choir member Siw Harston and the Progeny Choir performed ‘Ave Verum Corpus” and “Softly as I Leave You’.
Commenting on the concert, MD Dr Guy Bunce said: “We all very much enjoyed performing in this lovely venue, especially having been unable to perform our Spring concert for the past 2 years. It’s always great to receive feedback on our concerts and I had a number of audience members coming up to me afterwards saying how enjoyable it was to sit in the audience again and enjoy the music. Everyone in the choir worked hard to prepare and should be very proud of their performance”.
