Filtones annual summer concert entranced by Julia

The Filtones Choir and their audience were entranced by a spectacular performance from their guest solo violinist, Julia Hwang, a former pupil of Clifton College and recent graduate of Cambridge who has now been awarded a full scholarship to study at the Royal College of Music.

What a treat for us all at our annual summer Concert at St Peter’s Henleaze, which was in aid of the charity, BRACE, for whom Julia is also a cultural ambassador.

The choir performed well too, with a programme of songs from the musicals, jazz numbers, spirituals, and the “Beatles” expertly conducted by its Musical Director, Dr Fabian Huss, and there was something to please all tastes.

The choir will be now be “resting” during August and will resume rehearsals on Wednesday 4th September at Eden Grove Methodist Church from 1.45 to 3.45 p.m.  We are actively recruiting new members and welcome anyone who would like to drop in and just listen or give us a try.  We are a non-auditioning choir and, an ability to read music, although useful, is not necessary as we supply learning CDs or in MP3 format.  You will be assured of a very warm welcome and a cup of tea! Do come and join us – we are very friendly!

For further information please contact our Chairman, Michael Hensman, on 0117 9655368, our secretary, Janet Higgins on 0117 9241534 or email dorothy.bryant@btinternet.com   Or just drop in – we shall be delighted to see you!
