Classics For Pleasure

Classics For PleasureEnglish Concert Orchestra
Sunday March 4th
Sponsored by Joan and Mike Griffiths, Violet Simpson, Rottingdean Dental Care and Rottingdean Spring Music Festival

The English Concert orchestra played to full house on this, the final concert of the Festival. Under the direction of Roy Wales and the Associate Conductor Stephen Ellery, they delighted their audience with a programme of familiar works by Handel, Bach, Mozart and Elgar. The superb quality of the playing by both the orchestra and the soloists (Daniel Bhattacharya, Alun Darbyshire), and the intimacy of the surroundings, provided a musical experience that few will forget, and was a wonderful climax to this highly successful Spring Festival.

Rejoice!

Posted on March 8, 2012 by Rottingdean Arts

RejoiceBirmingham Community Gospel Choir
Saturday March 3rd
Sponsored by Nuffield Brighton Hospital

The Birmingham choir had the audience on their feet during their exciting performance on Saturday! Under the direction of their talented leader and composer, Maxine Brooks, the programme included a wonderful range of spiritual songs which filled the Village hall. And they sang with the whole-hearted commitment that comes from a faith-based choir, so that the audience, which included members of the Brighton Gospel choir, could not but share their joy. It is probably the first time a Gospel choir has been in Rottingdean, but judging from the audience response tonight, it won’t be the last!
