Concert taking place in Berwick in aid of a good cause
Local choir The Golden Square Singers will give a concert in Berwick, supporting Christian Aid, on Wednesday, May 13.
The choir members choose a charity to support each time they present a concert and have chosen to perform during Christian Aid Week this spring.
As it is also the official ‘Year of Reading’, the programme is specially selected to connect music and literature. It ranges from African-American spirituals to Jacobean art music via musicals and classic pop songs.
Choir director Carol Whinnom said, “There’s a wonderful quote by the great French writer Victor Hugo, whose work will feature in our concert: ‘Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent.’
“We think the programme we’ve chosen absolutely embodies that quote. Do come along and see if that’s the case.”
The concert will take place at Berwick Baptist Church, Golden Square, from 7.30pm. Admission is free, but donations are welcome. Refreshments will be available after the music.
