19th December - Platform YP Choir at Brown Bag

Brown Bag were our fabulous hosts on Friday night for the very talented Platform YP choir.  Platform is a Theatre School based in Woosehill working with students aged 4-18.

Performing a number of seasonal and popular tunes, including Hallelujah, to a rapt audience Platform went down wonderfully. Much like the mince pies and other refreshments served by Brown Bag.

There was a great range of ages from the youngest to eldest in the choir and they did magnificently well to the packed café.

Please enjoy this small selection of images.

14th December 2013 - All Saints Choir at All Saints Church

Last night saw us at All Saints Church for a magical evening listening to the Church choir perform a selection of plainsong from the 8th, 16th and 20th Centuries.

In their own words, "The choir of All Saints, Wokingham, is one of the finest in the region.  In addition to its regular duties at the church on Sundays and at important civic and church events, it sings at major cathedrals across the country and churches all over Berkshire." 

An audience of around 70 people enjoyed the performance. The church was bedecked with candlelight just adding to the atmospheric evening.

Tonight we hope you will join us at Cafe Rouge for another surprise performance.

4th December 2013 - Wokingham Choral Society at Herrington and Carmichael

For the 4^th Day of Advent, we had an almost concert hall feeling with the covered entrance to Herrington and Carmichael Solicitors echoing to the magnificent sounds of Wokingham Choral Society.

It was a chilly evening but around 50 people huddled together enjoying chocolates handed out by the solicitors and carols including We Wish you a Merry Christmas and other festive favorites. 

Wokingham Town Team took a video of the night which they have uploaded to their Facebook page. We hope that those of you not on Facebook will still be able to view it. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=485453438238893

 

Below are a selection of photos taken.

3rd December 2013 - Churches Together in Wokingham Choir at Wokingham Railway Station.

Voices rose en masse on Tuesday night with the Churches Together in Wokingham Choir performing outside the new Wokingham Railway Station.

Wokingham Borough Councillor Rob Stanton introduced the act and an audience of around 40 stayed to watch and join in with the full performance, with commuters watching as they passed.

The Churches Together in Wokingham “scratch” choir have been performing Carols at the Station for about 5 years now, to welcome commuters home and to get them into the Christmas spirit.  The choir and musical group is made up of people from all of the Churches in Wokingham.

There were a number of carols sung, including perennial favorites “Away in a Manger”, “Ding Dong Merrily on High” and “Hark the Herald Angels Sing”. Afterward the choir gave out small chocolates to the audience.

Below is a short video of the event.



We hope to see you tonight at Herrington and Carmichael at 27 Broad Street tonight at 6:15pm for another musical treat.
