21 years after their foundation, the Pink Singers, Europe's oldest lesbian and gay choir, return to the Royal Academy of Music in London for a special anniversary concert.

The Pink Singers were formed in 1983 by gay cabaret activist Mark Bunyan and the late Brian Kennedy, gay journalist, publisher and activist, to sing at that year's Gay Pride Festival. 21 years later and stronger than ever under the leadership of Musical Director Mladen Stankovic, the choir has notched up an impressive number of performances throughout the UK, Europe and America, has appeared on radio and TV and even backed Bronski Beat on their first album, "Age of Consent".

The Big Birthday Bash will feature some of the choir's favourite pieces from its 21-year history, encompassing a wide range of musical styles from big band to opera to classic 60s pop, and will include some choreographed pieces, solo performances, festive touches and other surprises, all to be revealed... The concert will be sign-language interpreted by Steve Hudson.

There will also be a bar with a late licence, so celebrations can continue after the concert…ĺĺĺĺ

Tickets can be booked in advance on: 07020 934 678, or bought on the door. If you wish to buy tickets on the night, please try to arrive in good time, as the concert is expected to be a sell-out. Doors open at 7.00p.m and the concert starts at 7.30p.m.

CAN YOU SING SOPRANO OR TENOR? THE PINK SINGERS NEED YOU!

Diary date: Sunday afternoons from 12th September 2004.
Venue: The Place, 17 Duke's Road, London WC1.


If you enjoy singing with others, why not join the Pink Singers, London’s
lesbian and gay community chorus? The choir starts a new season of weekly
rehearsals on Sunday afternoons from 12th September 2004 and is looking to
recruit new tenor and soprano voices.

Please be advised that we are currently operating a waiting list for new
members wishing to join the the alto and bass/baritone sections but this
does not apply to former members of those sections who are familiar with the
Pink Singers' repertoire over the last couple of years – we need you too!

There is no formal audition to join the Pink Singers, just a simple voice
test to establish your vocal range. You don't need to be able to read music
and all levels of experience are welcome, though you need to be able to hold
a tune!

Recent repertoire has included opera, jazz, pop and classical, so there's
something for every taste. This season's repertoire will include a Beach
Boys medley, a Madonna medley, big band numbers and opera choruses, which
the choir will perform at a special 21st anniversary concert at the Royal
Academy of Music on Saturday 11th December.

The Pink Singers rehearse and perform to a high standard and a high level of
commitment is expected. For those who love singing and can attend rehearsals
on a regular basis, the choir offers an immensely rewarding experience. As a
community choir, the Pink Singers' aim is to offer support to the lesbian
and gay community, both by providing a welcoming and very sociable
environment for lesbians and gay men to meet and develop their musical
skills and also by participating in fundraising events for charities that
offer support to lesbians and gay men.

New members who would like to join the choir and can attend rehearsals from
September onwards should phone the new members hotline on 07020 934 916 or
e-mail: joining@....

A message from Lynne Nicholls, chair of the Pink Singers:

On behalf of the Pink Singers, I would like to offer my apologies to those of you who turned up at Duke's Hall at the Royal Academy of Music on Saturday 10th July for our summer concert, when this had in fact been previously cancelled. I understand that this was due to a failure on our part to update the concert listings information on the Pink Singers website.

We will be updating the Pink Singers website over the next six weeks to include more up-to-date information prior to the start of the new season.

Rehearsals commence on Sunday 12th September and we will be recruiting a small number of tenors and sopranos. If you are interested in joining or re-joining us, please phone our new members line on: 07020 934 916 or e-mail: joining@...

The Pink Singers 21st anniversary concert will be held on Saturday 11th December, 7.30p.m. at Duke's Hall, Royal Academy of Music, Marylebone Road, London NW1. Further details will follow and we hope to see many of you there.

Celebrate Pride with the Pink Singers – 21 today!

21 years after their foundation, the Pink Singers, Europe's oldest lesbian and gay choir, return to their roots with a high-profile performance at this year's Pride Rally in Trafalgar Square.

"More real life than Westlife"

The Pink Singers will open the Pride Rally at 3.00p.m. on Saturday 3^rd July and, as a finale to the event, will join forces with politicians and gay rights campaigners including Ken Livingstone, Peter Tatchell and Sir Ian McKellen in a rendition of their well-known anthem "Hand in Hand". This promises to be a fitting celebration not only of the choir's 21^st anniversary but also of Pride's return to the spirit of a more political era of gay rights.

"Age of consent"

Later in July, the choir will be travelling to Montreal, Canada to attend the seventh International Gay and Lesbian Association of Choruses (GALA) Festival in Montreal, Canada and on 11^th December will hold a special 21^st anniversary concert in London.

SPRING INTO 2002

WITH OUR FIRST PERFORMANCE OF

"A GERSHWIN PORTRAIT"

WITH SPECIAL GUESTS,

MANNENKOORTS, FROM THE HAGUE

ON SATURDAY 13TH APRIL, 7.30PM

This event promises to be even more entertaining than our December concert.

We'll be performing "A Gershwin Portrait" - a medley of George Gershwin’s
famous songs, including favourites such as "Strike up the Band",
"s’Wonderful", "They Can’t Take That Away From Me" and "Let’s Call the Whole
Thing Off".

You’re also in for a treat with our very talented guest choir, Mannenkoorts,
all the way from the Hague, Netherlands. At last year’s Various Voices
lesbian and gay choir festival in Berlin, this gay, male-voice double
quartet received a standing ovation for their set, which included a
choreographed rendition of "Under the Boardwalk".

Once again, the grandeur and good acoustics of Dukes Hall provide the
perfect setting for this not-to-be-missed event. The concert will be
sign-language interpreted.

Tickets are available in advance at Ł8 (Ł5 concs) each by phoning: 07020 934
678, or can be bought on the door for Ł10 (Ł5 concs) each. Dukes Hall is
part of the Royal Academy of Music and is situated on Marylebone Road,
London NW1. The nearest tube station is Baker Street.

Be sure to put it in your diary!
