Vasari Singers is delighted to be able to invite you to our next Online Come and Sing on Saturday February 20th from 1430-1530 GMT / UTC (with the call opening at 1400) It will be led again by our Music Director, Jeremy Backhouse and this time he has chosen Parry’s wonderful choral favourite ‘Blest Pair of Sirens’. We are very pleased that we can share our own recording of this with the virtuosic Jeremy Filsell at the organ. The choir has sung this since at one of our Wednesday virtual rehearsals and found it incredibly rewarding and emotional to sing even in the Zoom environment. We think it works particularly well and we very much hope you will agree and join us to sing on February 20th.
