Pageant news update 19 September 2011
On Friday 16th September we were treated to a
most entertaining and enjoyable evening of choral, solo and piano
music by the popular Horsham choir, the
Pleasure Singers, Director of
Music Dianne Walters, in Southwater Parish Church.
The evening was organised on behalf of
PAGEANT by Stephen Chapman on behalf of the Southwater Parochial
Church Council, to whom we offer our very grateful thanks. Our
thanks go also to our Priest, the Reverend Kesari Godfrey, and
Stephen’s wife, Pat, who organised the refreshments in the interval
(and made many of them!) - and of course, to the choir members
themselves, who were really excellent.
The audience enjoyed a most varied programme,
with a mix of a wide range of choral music, solos by Dianne herself
and guest soloist Sarah Esser and two piano solos by Mark Reeves. In
addition to this, Dianne and Sarah performed the very entertaining
‘Cats Duet’ by Rossini, to huge applause from both the audience and
the choir!

The concert raised £354 for Pageant after
paying all expenses. The Pleasure Singers is a choir of female
singers who meet once a week on Wednesday afternoons at Holy Trinity
Church Hall, Rushams Road in Horsham, West Sussex. Throughout the
year the choir performs at a number of venues in West Sussex,
entertaining folk at retirement homes, care homes and community
centres and at special concerts in aid of various charities – we are
delighted that they came to perform for PAGEANT.
