				NORFOLK AND NORWICH FESTIVAL 2012 Singing the City – From Dawn to Dusk – Saturday 12th May This year’s project is going to be a musical mystery tour animating the medieval streets and buildings from St Andrews Plain to Cathedral Close with exciting new music created specially for the Voice Project Choir by Jeremy Avis, Jonathan Baker, Helen Chadwick and Orlando Gough. We plan to stage three performances that make use of a whole variety of interesting and unusual acoustic spaces - interior and exterior: placing singers in squares and streets, crypts and alleys, dark corners and cloisters, courtyards and rooftops. The piece will have a more theatrical feel than previous projects and we will be working with a theatre director as part of our rehearsal process. The libretto is being created by George Szirtes and Andrew McDonnell and will describe worlds of shadow and light and tell the stories of past and present. We are making a piece which features the beauty of a single voice on a rooftop; the harmonic intrigue of a small ensemble in a crypt and the uplifting sound of massed voices in the cloisters and nave of Norwich Cathedral. As usual, we’ll be preparing scores and recordings of all the parts. The taster session is on Tuesday February 21st at 7.30pm at The Friends Meeting House Upper Goat Lane Norwich. The rehearsal dates are on the website and can be found here. The project cost is £95.00 with concessions £80.00. There are a limited number of young person’s bursaries available on application. This is going to be a really exciting project so tell your friends and we look forward to seeing you on the 21st February.
