The Big Village Sing!

The Milford on Sea Arts and Music Festival has a twist this year, with an amazing send-off; The Big Village Sing!  Th idea is to pack as many singers as possible onto the Village Green to sing The Hallelujah Chorus.

 

The singing will be lead by Milford on Sea's Total Voice Choir, and The New Forest Orchestra on Sunday 4th August at around 5.30pm.

 

Don’t worry if you’ve never picked up a piece of music in your life or you’ve only ever sung in the shower – you will be surrounded by people of all levels of experience and ability. If you are a complete novice, there will be lots of others in the same boat, as well as dozens of experienced singers to carry you along. If you’re already a choral singer, come and join in what we hope will be an unforgettable event.

 

Because the organisers know that there will be lots of people who want to get involved who don’t know a crotchet from a treble clef, you can find the words & music as well as a practice track at:

Sounds like it will be a fun end to the festival!

Milford on Sea Arts and Music Festival

 

The annual Arts and Music Festival has been running successfully for twelve years. It celebrates and promotes the high quality and sheer number of talented local people involved in music and the arts.

 

In fact the festival’s raison d’etre is to promote art and culture in the local area and to give an outlet for performers of all kinds to promote their art and to develop cultural understanding for all.

 

In 2012 a successful application was made to the Charities Commission and the festival is now a registered charity (no. 1148001).

 

Their Chartiable objectives are as follows:

• To advance, improve, develop and maintain public education in, and appreciation of, the arts, music and culture in all aspects and by any means the trustees see fit, including through the presentation of public concerts and recitals
• To further such charitable purpose or purposes as the trustees in their absolute discretion shall think fit but in particular through the making of grants and donations.

The festival has always been free to attend and its continued success depends upon the support of generous sponsors, advertisers, Friends of the Festival, villagers and visitors.

 

If you would like to get involved as a volunteer, to become a 'Friend', or give a donation, please contact: committee@milfordfestival.org.uk
