Summer performance news!
The choir will be making two exciting appearances over the next few weeks.
On Monday July 26, keep your diary free for our end-of-term concert – this time with a twist. We're hosting a cabaret-style evening featuring old and new songs by Note-Orious, as well as a few solo performances by some of the very talented members of the choir and our friends. Location TBC.
On Saturday August 7, we are very excited to be performing in front of our biggest audience ever at Dulwich Park's outdoor screening of the The Rocky Horror Picture Show. We will be singing three songs from the show, prior to a Q&A with Rocky Horror creator Richard O'Brien and the screening itself. This event is expected to be hugely popular, so buy tickets in advance to avoid choir-related disappointment. Go here for more information.
Official: Note-Orious makes the sun come out!
The choir sang at the Dulwich Park Festival on Sunday May 16, taking to the stage under an overcast and uncertain sky. With choir member David H slipping into the accompanist's chair to spectacular effect, and Siobhan on violin duty again, we went down a storm. But not an actual storm. Oh no. As we were about to start our TOTALLY SPONTANEOUS encore, the sun decided to make a very welcome appearance.
We sang:
One Night Only (new piece!)
Viva La Vida
Over At The Frankenstein Place
Tender
Happy Together
Somewhere Only We Know
Don't Stop Me Now
Dulwich Park Festival
We will be performing at the Dulwich Park Festival on Sunday May 16 at around 2pm, singing some old favourites, plus one or two new pieces!
Easter concert report
Our Easter performance took place downstairs in the Magnolia on Monday March 29. With the choir in great voice, Matthew in brilliantly energetic conducting form, and with the aid of our fearless accompanist Ed and a beautiful violin solo from multi-talented soprano Siobhan, some people are calling it Note-Orious's best performance yet. In addition, we raised over £100 for local charity Dulwich Helpline.
Here's what we sang:
Viva La Vida
Over At The Frankenstein Place
Happy Together
This Nearly Was Mine
Don't Stop Me Now
Somewhere Only We Know
James Bond medley
Chasing Cars
Shine
Performance alert! Monday March 29!
Note-Orious will be performing in the Magnolia pub, 211 Lordship Lane, SE22 8HA at 8.45pm. Expect some old favourites and some wildly ambitious, death-defying new pieces. Admission is free – free! – but we will be collecting for charity afterwards. See you there. x
Logo wanted!
As Note-Orious is now a healthy, thriving, one-year-old choir, it's about time we had a logo to use on our website and other official type stuff, so at the rehearsal on Monday 1st February we launched the thrilling Note-Orious Design-A-Logo Competition. It's open to any choir members who want to try their hand at designing a brilliant logo incorporating the word Note-Orious, and using our colours, red and black (plus any others you think might be nice). It doesn't matter if you're not hugely artistic, just give it your best shot, as the winning design can be tidied up by a designer before it's put to use.
Hand your entry in to any of the committee members on Monday night, or email it if you are some kind of computer genius. The competition closes on 22nd February and there will be a bottle-of-bubbly-shaped prize for the winner.
Performance on Sunday 13th September 2009 - Upland Road Street Party Note-Orious will be performing at the Upland Road Street Party (SE22) at 4 pm on Sunday - everyone welcome to come and see us in action!
Performance on Sunday 17th May 2009
Note-Orious performed at the Dulwich Park Fair on 17th May, which was part of the Dulwich Festival. Despite the wind we attracted a large and enthusiastic crowd and even a nice man who helped hold down Matthew's music in the wind! You can see some of our pieces on YouTube:
