Save the date… in July, Felixstowe Harmonies will welcome two American a capella ensembles, Song of Seattle and PrimeTime, for a week of musical collaboration culminating in an exciting public concert, Across the Borders, at Harvest House in Felixstowe on July 2 at 7.30pm.
The visit is the result of a friendship which began during the Covid pandemic, when choirs and choruses around the world were unable to meet and started singing together online.
Chandra wrote an uplifting song called Across the Borders which was recorded and released by Felixstowe Harmonies during the 2020 lockdown. When they heard the song, PrimeTime commissioned her to arrange it for female barbershop.
It was then recorded by the three groups, plus Ipswich based choir Stellar Acapella, under the group name of Kingdom of United Voices. This will be the first time they have sung together live. Song of Seattle and Stella Acapella will perform together at St Peter’s Church in Ipswich on July 4.
Watch out for further details about the event and how to buy tickets. For further information: Chandra Grover, Musical Director.
