On Tuesday 9th February the Eton End School Choir took part in a very successful and enjoyable Choir Day at The Abbey, Reading.
|
The main focus of the day was the rehearsing and performance of several pieces as a large massed choir to an audience of parents.
The composer Julie Cooper had kindly arranged a special version of her choral work Without Fear for everyone to perform.
|
As well as having the opportunity to sing together the children also enjoyed a number of musical workshops.
In a practical percussion workshop they tried out a range of instruments and experimented with various rhythms.
|
Another workshop introduced them to Eric Coates's Three Bears Phantasy which The Abbey Senior School Orchestra played in the afternoon concert.
|
Every choir attending the day had an opportunity to perform a piece that they already knew. Eton End sang One Single Light by Dave and Jean Perry.
It was a wonderful experience for all concerned and we would like to thank The Abbey for organising this special day.
