Last chance to see...

Calling all Devon and Somerset fans of a capella singing!

Last night, the St Petersburg Blagovest Ensemble sung an enchanting concert at St Peter and St Paul - our Parish Church here in Uplyme. A packed house gave them a rousing welcome, and they gave a masterful performance of both Russian Orthodox church music, and in the second half, folk songs. I thought they were quite exceptional - the operatic power and control of all six different voices was really something to hear. (Soprano, second soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor, baritone and bass.) Also a chance to hear a musical genre rather different from my usual fare (and have a quick drink in the local afterwards!).

If you live in Great Torrington (Tuesday) , Silverton (Wednesday), or Martock (Thursday) - hurry along to your local church for a real treat.

Hi lois,

Sounds like a good time but I won't be able to make it. :lol:
We have a town here in Connecticut called Torrington. It is not 'Great' like yours, though. My friend lives there and calls it Bore-ington, Pathetic-cut. It's not as bad as he likes to make it out.
