Steve Sargent, one of Heal’s keen supporters, has recently held a highly successful Easter Concert with his choir ‘The Free Radicals’ at St. Laurence’s Church, Petersfield.
The event was billed as an opportunity to listen to ‘the pure sound of glorious Passiontide anthems sung unaccompanied in a luxurious accoustic. A short, dreamy and contemplative pre-Easter wallow in rich choral music and readings.’
As this was the first time Steve had organised a concert he worked hard on publicity and the church was filled. The songs were mainly Latin church anthems written for Easter between 16th Century and 20th Century, with a couple of spirituals thrown in. Here’s an example of one of the songs – O Crux Ave:
There was a retiring collection for HEAL and it amounted to an amazing £561. Many thanks from Heal!
