I know a few people on here have said they're not great fans of Rutter, but for those who are (and I'm one of them) I've received an email this morning that there is to be an event called "Come and Sing" with celebrated composer John Rutter, on Satuay 6th September '08 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., at Withington Girls' School, Fallowfield, Manchester M14 6BL.
It says "Join John Rutter for a day of choral singing, including music from the new anthology 'The Oxford Book of Flexible Anthems' along with other repertoire by John Rutter.
For tickets and more information, contact ABCD North West: 0161-439-1718 or email j3llt@aol.com."
I know there are a few choir members on here so I thought I'd mention it in case anyone's interested.
Well that woke me up Milly! one of my daughters went to the school .. unfortunately I am now 200 miles away so I couldn't even contemplate it.
I like John Rutter, as a retired teacher I look back with fond memories to teaching lots of his lovely songs to my choirs, they loved them and the music suited young voices.. perhaps I get my coat now??
