Their Musical Director is Dr Bill Miles and they are accompanied by pianist Ms Emma Lippa, both experienced musicians and proficient in their abilities.
Vocally Wild accepts all singers regardless of age, gender, ability, religion or ethnicity. No audition is required.
Choristers enjoy the challenge of sight reading, leaning some theory of music and singing a variety of music. The repertoire includes musical numbers, classical (e.g. Handel’s “Halleluiah Chorus” and Mozart), modern popular (e.g. Joni Mitchell, Leonard Cohen, Lennon and McCartney), to folk songs, Spirituals, Christmas carols and seasonal songs!
This is Vocally Wild’s first appearance at Festival of Voices, and they are delighted to be chosen to sing at Voices@5.
