Return of Horsecross Voices
A popular singing group in Perth is set to return this week.
Horsecross Voices will get back up and running for 2020 tomorrow (Wednesday, January 22) with a new, refreshed format.
No singing experience or music reading is needed to join the sociable and informal choir, which rehearses in Perth Concert Hall’s Norie-Miller Studio on Wednesdays from 7.30pm.
There is now a call out for new members to get involved.
This term the focus will be on four-week blocks, working with the same signing tutor to build up skills and confidence.
Folk singer Debbie Armour will lead the group for rounds, chants and torch songs, looking at fun and satisfying songs from British tradition, around the world and the top 40.
Her classes will run from January 22 until Wednesday, February 12.
Opera singer Aimee Toshney will then take over from February 26 until Wednesday, March 18 to celebrate International Women’s Week.
She will explore songs from Carole King,
Eva Cassidy, Aretha Franklin and Whitney Houston.
Emma Neck, creative learning music coordinator for Horsecross Arts, the creative organisation behind Perth Concert Hall and Perth Theatre, said:“We are excited to offer an alternate format, and to be working with such talented singing tutors, bringing the best quality in their genre.
“The benefits of having the continuity of a four-week block, will allow the choir to develop many different skills, and build a strong sense of togetherness, which is extremely important to every choir and the participants.”
