Singing songs from around the world
A new era for Woven Chords begins in September!
Chris Rowbury has been the most inspirational Director of Woven Chords for the past 10 years, but sadly for the choir, a move to Suffolk means that he can no longer continue in that role.
From September Woven Chords will be lead by Liz Underhill who, although Chris will be an incredibly hard act to follow, hopes to continue Chris’s work in very much the same way. As Liz has been a member of the choir almost since it’s inception, she knows the repertoire that Chris and his predecessor Sally have built up over the past fifteen years and so can ensure that this wealth of songs can still live on - as well as introducing exciting new material and extending the repertoire further.
Liz has already had practice at stepping into Chris’s shoes as 5 years ago she took over from Chris as musical director of Global Harmony, a sister world music community choir to Woven Chords in Melton Mowbray. Liz is looking forward to the challenge of running the two choirs side by side.
Open to all
From September Woven Chords will be open to any newcomers, men and women, who would like to join. Sessions are on Thursday evenings 7.30 – 9.30 in the ballroom at Stamford Arts Centre – full details in the SAC brochure. Anyone interested in coming along should contact Liz Underhill.
