Catch award-winning Medina Community Choir at their first performances of 2022 on 8th April at St Mary’s Church, Cowes and 9th April at St John’s Church, Newport (both 7pm), where they will be performing the Heaven and Hell-themed concert they had originally scheduled for 2020.
Choir director Hannah Redman said,
“In 2020 we started on a programme called ‘Heaven and Hell’ featuring everything from Beyonce’s Halo, to Meat Loaf’s Bat Out of Hell, to Haydn’s The Heavens Are Telling.
“We didn’t get to perform that year, thanks to Covid-19, but the time has finally come!”
Rehearsals over Zoom
The choir rehearsed on Zoom during lockdowns and resumed in-person rehearsals as soon as permitted, performing Beatles and Peace and Love-themed charity concerts last July, and three festive concerts in December, before returning to the Heaven and Hell repertoire.
Upcoming workshop and concerts
Upcoming plans include a gospel workshop (2–5pm) and concert (7pm) in aid of Mountbatten on 23rd April at St Mary’s Church, Cowes.
In the summer the choir will perform full gospel concerts on the Island on 30th July at Newport Minster and 31st July at St Catherine’s, Ventnor, before going on tour to France during August.
