O come, Emmanuel

'The singing and the music were beautiful, really lovely. There was appealing contrast and humour too...'

Essex Voices draws together some of the most accomplished amateur singers from Essex and the surrounding counties. Its origins go back nearly thirty years to four singers who met periodically on Friday evenings to sing madrigals for their own enjoyment. Over the intervening years the group has grown to number, at full strength, some twenty singers. It still meets, almost always on Friday evening, for its own enjoyment and tackles wide-ranging unaccompanied repertoire from the early Renaissance to the present day, by way of Romantic part-songs and lighter jazz arrangements.

Ticket takings for this concert will be donated back to Colchester Early Music to fund promotion of future events.
