Singing for the Hospice

It was such an honour for the choir to be asked to take part in a fundraising concert for Hospice in the Weald, sharing the programme with the Royal Tunbridge Wells Orpheus Male Voice Choir.

Sebastian, Head of School Music, reflected on the experience:

“All the performances were spectacular, but I found that the pieces that stood out to me the most were the Orpheus choir’s ‘76 Trombones and the beautiful solo singing of Ariana Rebecca Frith’s ‘O Holy Night’.

The Hilden Grange choir started with ‘Pirates’. This fantasy song suited the singers well and it was a difficult piece to sing as it split into three parts. ‘Gonna Rise Up Singing’ was a very fitting piece to sing for the concert and it moved the audience. ‘That’s What Friends Are For’ again was a very fitting piece as it shows that you can overcome anything with help. ‘Gaudete’ was an amazing performance sung with enthusiasm and brought a sense of Christmas spirit. Finally, all the performers came together to sing ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ ending the concert with a bang.”
