We had a fantastic weekend in the Isle of Man where we competed in the Festival of Choirs.
We are very proud of our performance – we came 4th of 7 in our section, competing against some very accomplished choirs. We got a distinction in all four pieces, and were only one mark away from 3rd place.
Our summer concert was on a hot Friday evening, 16th June 2023, with Dolby and Hughes piano duo as our invited guests.
As always, we sang a variety of songs, including better known songs such as Both Sides Now and I’ll Stand by You as well as Ubi Caritas and, of course, How can I Keep from Singing.
This was also the world premiere of I Wanna be Yours, based on a peom by John Cooper Clarke and written by our patron, Sasha Johnson Manning. It was very well received and we will be performing it again at the Festival of Choirs in the Isle of Man.
On April 1st, we were proud to be the guests of Poynton Male Voice Choir at their concert at Poynton Methodist Church.
We sang 10 songs, including our first performance of the beautiful Your One and Only Life.
From Eileen Rigg (MD):
‘’I just wanted to say thank you again for being our guests on Saturday. Your choir was superb and it was a privilege to have you.
The men were buzzing at last night’s rehearsal! They all knew it was the best concert we’ve done. They did very well and I was proud of them, but Di Voci were so good that I’m sure it lifted them.’’
