Last Night there was a time when song recitations felt like endangered species. They turn out to be too strong and difficult to understand – especially if the text is a foreign language. But I’m happy to say that this has changed, thanks to a new generation of talented young singers. Whose exciting performances are at least as good as those of rock stars (even without lights and microphones). And the growing number of song-based festivals that provide them with a platform.

The London Song Festival is actually one of the smaller events – less than. The Oxford or Leeds festivals – but it offers interesting programming. To make up for a shortened season last fall, Kwide held a small series of events this month. At the Hind Methodist Church in Marylebone: an intimate and comfortable venue for concerts.
Last Night one of the advantages of a newcomer to the singer. Is that everything has an English lyric – from July 2, explore composer Peter Volokh’s life with words and music. Starting at the auspicious place of the Savoy Hotel (where he was somehow born). Only to end up with his head down in a gas stove.
July 3 brings another exploratory program (and another suicide) based on the lives of Virginia Woolf. And the female composers of her contemporaries. Then, on July 5, there were three British composers whose songs were little known. But worth listening to Peter Vissart, Geoffrey Bush, and Malcolm Arnold, whose 100th birthday is 100th.
A small part of the annual net proceeds is donated to local charities. But most of it is for capital projects for the development of sports facilities. With investments of more than 250,000 euros over the years.
The festival funded much of Chichester’s first artificial grass hockey pitch at Kingsham Road High School. And also made significant contributions to Bishop’s Lofa School Gymnasium and Chichester College’s artificial grass playground.
The festival would not have succeeded without the free time of local volunteers. Each evening, the volunteers are divided into three groups. Who take turns serving drinks in the evening, cleaning glasses, and entering the gate.
