Exploring “The Girl from Aleppo” with Surbiton High School
Friends of the Vox was delighted to support a workshop at Surbiton High School at the weekend, as the choir prepare for their upcoming performance of "The Girl From Aleppo" by Cecilia McDowall at Cadogan Hall as part of Vox Anima London's concert for International Women's Day - EM[POWER]?
Our Artistic Adviser, James Meaders worked with the young singers on the piece, supported by singers from Vox Anima Chamber Choir who have performed this piece on numerous occasions!
We were also thrilled to be joined by Cecilia, who spoke to the group about her inspiration for this moving piece, as well as her journey to becoming a composer.
Head of Instrumental Music at Surbiton High School, Mr. Richard Hammond-Hall said of the afternoon:
"It was everything I hoped it would be and then some. ... Many colleagues and pupils commented on how inspiring your (Vox Anima Chamber Choir's) commitment to the music, expressive faces, and relentless energy were. It’s certainly turbo-charged the pupils’ preparation for 6 March!"
We wish them all the best in their final weeks of preparation, and look forward to hearing their performance on the 6th March!
