Activities near Purley
Erato Orchestra Concert
Erato’s May concert sets the scene with the vibrant opening of Thomas Arne’s 2nd Symphony. Followed by Haydn’s famous ‘Farewell’ Symphony No.45 providing an element of drama in which the string players leaving early was a pointed hint to his employer. After the interval strings are again centre stage with the serene, noble writing of Sibelius’ Andante Festivo for Strings. The lively finale of Mozart’s Sinfonia Concertante for violin and viola is a joyous way to round off the evening. It is a masterpiece of musical dialogue in which the two soloists converse with each other and the orchestra in one of the composer’s most richly expressive works. - Arne – Symphony No.2 in F, - Haydn – Symphony No.45 in F# minor ‘Farewell’, - Sibelius – Andante Festivo for strings, - Mozart – Sinfonia Concertante in E flat for violin and viola, K.364, - Ellie Parry – violin, - John Dickinson – viola, - Russell Keable – conductor, - Erato Orchestra,Read more
Croydon Rock Choir
Are you looking to find a choir? The Purley Rock Choir is led by choir leader Valerie Turnbull. Rock Choir is unequalled in the opportunities we can offer our members - from performing at top music and arts venues like the O2 Arena and Guilfest to raising money for some of the UKs best-loved good causes such as Comic Relief,Sign2Sing and Missing People. Appearing on national television and singing with celebrities like Deborah Stevens has been exciting and exhilarating, but Rock Choir members still know the importance of supporting our local community causes and events! We attend weekly rehearsals where you learn pop, rock, Motown and every now and again a 'pop gospel' song. Like the sound of that? You can book a FREE taster session for yourself (and a maybe a friend!) to experience the easy going atmosphere and expert vocal tuition. Go to https://www.rockchoir.com/join to book you own FREE singing session to get a taste of singing with us Here is a quote about our choir - 'Why I love Rock Choir: I've had lupus for over 16 years. I get to forget that once a week and I feel like I've achieved something in life now, as I've had to give everything else up because of it.' - Sheryl (Rock Choir member) Rock Choir is a winner of the Red Ribbon 'Big Heart' Award [https://rockchoir.com/awards-achievements/]. and holds 1 former and 2 current Guinness World Records. The choir is also credited with single handedly starting the contemporary choir movement.Read more
