A fun opportunity to perform some of our repertoire (just a fancy name for some of our songs)
It is fun to sing in different styles and the next Stawell Performing Arts Company Take the Stage is themed Classical, Traditional and Folk. This is not restrictive or prescriptive, it just means songs that would fit together in that theme.
The SPACi Come and Sing group are working on an Irish folk song - She Moved Through the Fair and a renascence cannon Ah Robin Gentle Robin. I am bringing back to life one of my grade 6 exam pieces, an Italian aria, Se Florindo e Fedele - just for fun (actually working quite hard, practicing daily, as I do not sing in Italian very much any more). Individual students are testing out other traditional songs such as I've Been Working on the Railroad, Lavenders Blue, De Colores, art songs about the sun, moon and stars and some other fun songs that fit with the idea of the theme if not strictly classical or folk.
Performing is an important part of developing our singing and it is also really nice to share our music with family and friends.
I hope to see you there to perform or to enjoy.
Have fun singing
Dianne
