On a hot and sultry summer's evening, Suffolk Singers further turned up the heat to deliver another wonderful concert in the beautiful setting of St Mary's Church, Stoke by Nayland, a new venue for Suffolk Singers. An appreciative audience enjoyed a varied programme ranging from Suffolk Singers' favourites James Macmillan's "O Radiant Dawn" and Arvo Pärt's "Morning Star" to "A Nightingale Sang in Barkeley Square" and "Bridge over Troubled Water". The evening was concluded with John Rutter's tongue-twisting arrangement of the old nursery rhyme "Sing a Song of Sixpence".
Suffolk Singers were also pleased to welcome international operatic singer Garry Magee who along with Suffolk Singers' musical director and operatic singer Claire Weston beautifully performed a number of operatic pieces to the delight of the audience. The evening's musical entertainment was expertly accompanied by long-term friend of Suffolk Singers Jamie John Hutchings on the piano.
