Ninebarrow in concert with Chantry Singers
Event Information
About this event
Chantry Singers has performed with Ninebarrow before - you may even have heard us on the radio! Musical director Roy Rashbrook made arrangements of several of their beautiful songs which were performed a few years ago in concerts in Guildford and Poole. When the pandemic interrupted further concerts, a recording of one of these songs 'The Hour of the Blackbird' was made by the choir, together with members of Roy's other choir and Ninebarrow themselves. The song was released as a single in aid of the mental health charity MIND. It was broadcast several times on national radio and television and BBC radio 2's Mark Radcliffe called it 'one of the tracks of the year'. This concert will include some of the old favourites from our previous collaborations with Ninebarrow together with seven new arrangements including one of an as-yet unreleased track 'Names in the Sky.' Come and enjoy the simple beauty and delight of these folk songs spun by two stunning musicians with haunting choral arrangements casting their own ethereal spell.
