Sat 7th July at Faringdon Junior School (as part of the Faringdon Festival)
We sang “Hiawatha” by Coleridge Taylor, with Prologue and Epilogue read by Meg Greenwood, with John Oxlade (piano) and Philip Fine (tenor), who also sang some songs by Britten, Vaughan Williams and others. There were also choir and piano pieces by Elgar to celebrate the 150th anniversary of his birth in 1857 and Negro spirituals to celebrate the abolition of the slave trade in 1807. Maggie and Sandy sang the Flower Duet.
