Peninsula singers in choir concert

The Peninsula will be highly represented in the Bouddi Voice Choir when it sings at 3pm on November 18, at the St Joseph's Convent Chapel, Humphrey's Rd, South Kincumber.

Seven of the 25-strong a capella choir are currently living on the Peninsula, including Sam Bukenya who is visiting from a Ugandan orphanage that will receive proceeds from the concert.

The choir's repertoire is drawn from various musical cultures and styles, and "weaves a musical garment of human emotion and expression in their passionate performance", according to choir directors Chris and Christina Sainsbury.

The choir has invited "Hands Heart and Feet" to do a performance of their work in which a story is danced out to narration and drum, "a style of music and dance primarily from Guinea in West Africa".

"I saw them a few months ago and was staggered and mesmerized by their exquisite performance," said Earth Central world music promoter Ms Ylenna Zajec.

Tickets will be on sale at the door and will cost $15 for adults, $10 concession and children may enter by donation.

Afternoon tea is included in the price and all proceeds go to Mr Bukenya's Integrated Community Development Foundation orphanage in Uganda.

With inquiries, telephone 4368 3270.
