Thanks to Robin for this update from the Phoenix Choir. Ed
A performance originally scheduled for twelve months ago, had to be postponed when the Musical Director of the Phoenix Choir, Robin Burnett, suffered a heart attack just one week before the concert.
Now, exactly one year later, the 50-strong choir are delighted to be singing in aid of the Earl Mountbatten Hospice at a special concert on Thursday 4th July at St Saviour’s Church, Shanklin.
The performance starts at 7.45pm. Admission is free but there will be a retiring collection. There will also be a raffle and teas/coffees will be available.
The programme
Robin has now recovered and will be leading the choir that evening in a selection of well-known songs ‘From Pavarotti to Presley’. These will include a medley of songs from ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’, favourites such as ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’, ‘Sailing’ and ‘Amazing Grace’ together with songs from popular musicals, whilst the ladies of the choir will perform a classic from the Motown era.
He and the choir hope that you will support this special event and the invaluable service provided by EMH.
