Thrilled to add Living Voices to our choir's repertoire! Hepplewhite's blend of poetry and music always resonates so deeply with our singers.
The final world premiere in @RussHepplewhite’s Living Voices series takes place tonight at Alnwick Playhouse when @NEVoicesofhope perform Russell’s setting of ‘Three Trees/Angel’ by Fiona Benson @stainerandbell Find out more here stainer.co.uk/living-voices/
I was so pleased to be involved with this project, where ten poets were asked to write a piece which Russell Hepplewhite then set to music for choirs to sing. As an ex-folkie, I know how much people love singing, and I hope my contribution, “Leaving” will be nice to perform.
"One of the highlights of recent times", @PaulSpicer6. A happy, sunny day, enjoyed by singers & audience alike. Wonderful, too, to have @RussHepplewhite & #JamilaGavin with us: very impressed by our 'Song of Flight' from 'Living Voices' Project, published by @stainerandbell.
