Twyford Singers are continuing their 60th birthday celebrations with their Easter performance on Palm Sunday, April 10.
The concert will include excerpts from Maunder’s Olivet to Calvary and Stainers’s Crucifixion.
There is also a special new anniversary arrangement by a previous Twyford Singers musical director, Simon Rigby, of Gloria, laus et honor.
The concert will be led by the choir’s musical director, Helen Styles and accompanied by Judith Creighton.
Entry to the choir’s 60th Anniversary Composition Competition has closed.
The choir says it is delighted to have received so many submissions. Composers were asked to write reflecting the anniversary year’s themes of hope, joy and celebration.
The entries will be shortlisted and the final three works will be sung for the first time at the Singers’ summer concert on June 25 at Loddon Hall, Twyford.
A panel of distinguished judges will decide the winner.
Twyford Singers, founded in 1962, say they’re a friendly village choir with a young enthusiastic musical director and around 40 members.
They welcome new members and no auditions are required.
