Following their critically acclaimed sell-out Christmas Show, Brighton’s Rainbow Chorus present their latest summer concert, Songs Without Borders.
Collect your musical air miles on this delightfully tuneful trip around the world, from New Zealand to Zimbabwe (with several stopovers along the way!) in the company of this unique and diverse choir.
Rainbow Chorus will be led as always by the energetic Aneesa Chaudhry and renowned accompanist Mojca Monte.
In the choir’s strong tradition of inclusiveness, BSL interpreter Marco Nardi will interpret each song, and the performance will feature some songs performed by the Chorus in Sign Supported English.
The choir will themselves be crossing bordersthis summer, as they take a trip to Amsterdam where they have been chosen to take part at the International Choir Festival during the Euro Pride celebrations—a huge honour, and a mark of their growing international reputation.
So let the South’s only LGBT choir (outside of London) transport you around the world this June – what better time to extend the hand of friendship and solidarity to our brothers and sisters across the globe?
Following a recent award from the Rainbow Fund the Rainbow Chorus have also established a monthly singing group – RC+ – for those wishing to develop their confidence and play a part in the full chorus programme.
Participant Marina Llamas Barco, said: “These sessions are great to develop my confidence and raise my game to play a full part in the chorus. They are a great stepping stone.”
Musical Director Aneesa Chaudhry, added: “The sessions are aimed at anyone who wants to join the chorus, not everyone can commit to a weekly rehearsal, so it’s a great way to keep in touch. New singers, particularly members from the Trans community are finding them a supportive space to find their voice”.
