Sibford hosts
uaker Choir Festival
M
arch 2012 saw Sibford hosting the triennial Quaker Schools’ Junior Choir Festival. A mass choir, made up of our own youngsters and pupils
from Friends’ School in Saffron Walden, Bootham School and The Mount, took to the stage at St Mary’s Church in Banbury where they put on a spellbinding performance. The programme started with Can You Hear Me? a song that describes the
wonder of the world through the eyes of a deaf child … with the choir signing the words they were singing. The main event was a performance of Nick Perrin’s Scheherazade, a
narrated choir presentation based on the classic tales of the 1001 Arabian Nights. Sibford head Michael Goodwin said: “The performance was absolutely fantastic and I was immensely proud of our pupils and their colleagues from Sibford soloist Libby Griffiths the other Quaker Schools.” In 2013 it will be Sibford’s turn to host the senior event ~ The Friends’ Schools’ Joint Choir Festival.
The 2010 Festival, hosted by Leighton Park, was held in the prestigious surroundings of Reading University and so we had quite a hard act to follow. We are therefore delighted to announce that we have been able to secure Coventry Cathedral and are really looking forward to performing in this wonderful setting. The Festival will take place on Saturday 23 March so do make a note in your diary. More details will follow in due course.
