Mike Aaronson invites people to be choristers for a day in The Waverley Sing

Tindle News

The Waverley Singers will continue their platinum jubilee celebrations with a concert at St Mary’s Church in Frensham on June 22 at 5pm. The main work in Midsummer Nocturnes will be the world première of Five Nocturnes, an intimate piece for choir, clarinet, cello and piano commissioned by the Waverley Singers from young composer-conductor Owain Park. This is thanks to a bequest from former choir member and Frensham farmer Josephine Baker, more commonly known as Jo Reader, who died in 2019.
