Grand Concert with Johns’ Boys

divocichoir

24th November 2018

An amazing showcase for both choirs with a very varied programme which was enjoyed by a very appreciative audience in the Stiwt Theatre, in Rhos, near Wrexham.  The highlight of the event was when the two choirs joined forces to sing together Benedictus from Carl Jenkins’ Armed Man, and the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah.  It was a really uplifting evening of music and the two choirs perform again in Altrincham on 9th December at St. George’s Church.    We would like to thank Johns’ Boys for singing with us and we hope to do so again in the future.

23rd June 2018

In the Year of the Woman, our summer concert this year had a theme to celebrate the achievements of the Suffragette Movement.  The programme focused on women poets, lyricists, composers, arrangers and songwriters and included readings providing an insight into the lives  of some of these amazing women.  Lorraine, our MD, put together an amazing programme with a wide range of pieces including Joni Mitchell  “Both Sides Now”,  Eleanor Daley “Lake Isle of Innisfree”, Eriks Esenvalds “Stars”, Jule Style “Don’t Rain on my Parade with the evening opening with the “March of the Women” written by the two suffragettes Ethel Smyth and Cicely Hamilton.    A truly inspiring evening with great feedback from an appreciative audience.

Di Voci were thrilled to be able to sing in such a prestigious venue where the acoustics were utterly amazing.   A difficult and varied programme which leant itself to the majesty of the surroundings.  We were delighted by the appreciative and complimentary comments of the audience and visitors to the cathedral.   An emotional and memorable performance for us all.  A compilation video can be found on our Listen to Di Voci page
