Spring into Summer concert

This spring, the Belvedere Singers are delighted to welcome a very special soloist to their concert on 17th May.

Miro Treharne (previously Miro Vosper) is a mezzo-soprano who has been involved since her early school days with musical groups in Swanage. The connection to the Belvedere Singers is strong. She was a singing pupil with the Belvedere's former Music Director, Helen Attfield, and has been performing at the choir's concerts since she was a very young singer.

Miro will perform three songs from Schumann’s 12 Gedichte von Justinus Kerner; Le Temps des Lilas from Chausson’s Poème de l’Amour et de la Mer; and the UK premier of the song cycle 'Crossings', written by the choir's Music Director Clive Watkiss, and his daughter, Arabella Watkiss.

The choir will perform its usual eclectic mixture of choral works, including Ubi Caritas by Ole Gjeilo; As Torrents in Summer by Edward Elgar; some beautiful madrigals; and a lighter piece by Flanders and Swann. There will be something for everyone.

The concert will be held at 7.30pm in St Mary's Church, Church Hill, Swanage BH19 1HU. Tickets are £9 on the door or from choir members. Under 18s free.

There will be a retiring collection for Swanage Dementia Friendly Group.
