At a time soon
after 3pm on most Tuesday afternoons, this little conga line of choristers
might be seen snaking its way to St Agnes' Anglican Hall in Esk for what has
become a very special part of their week.
It is their bee-line to choir practice, when this trio of tots together
with 7 others come together as THE SEMITONES, a new generation of music makers
who are holding in their hands the continuum of the wonderful music culture now
legendary in the Somerset Region and who, each week, are eager to spend an hour
making magic with music and singing, inspired by their mentor Alexis
FitzGerald.
So polished and
confident have they become since their formation 5 years ago and so practiced
are they with rehearsals, regular performances as an ensemble and alongside the
"senior" group, the Esk Community Choir, that THE SEMITONES are now
about to launch from their very own platform a 'Sing Into Spring' Concert of
their own. With a passion filled
performance that is sure to sing away the winter and put a spring into steps in
keeping with the season, they, along with guest artists, will be creating this
happy state of mind on Sunday, September 8th in the Somerset Civic
Centre Foyer at 3.00pm.
We'd love to see you there.
