Singing in the Round is hosting another visit from Northern Harmony, from Vermont, USA. This is a very talented youth choir and the Bradford on Avon group will host them for two nights.
This choir is not to be missed! It is particularly renowned for its command of varied world ethnic singing styles, from the hearty and ultra bright Bulgarian “hard voice” to the equally powerful, but darker and more sonorous Georgian timbre, from the rich, mellifluous South African style or the wild and unrestrained American shape-note sound to a delicate, pure, early music timbre. www.villageharmony.org
