Music fans in Surrey will be getting a New Year treat in the form of a brand new weekly two-hour radio programme dedicated to choral singing and big band music which will be presented live on Brooklands Radio by Cliff van Tonder, Musical Director of Elmbridge Choir and founder of local charitable music society, Elmbridge Music.
‘Sing It! Swing It!' will take to the airwaves on Sunday 22nd January and every Sunday from 3 - 5pm. Each week the programme will feature a local choir or band and interviews with musical directors, band leaders, singers or players from the Surrey area.
Returning to the UK triumphant from a weekend of singing in Poland, Elmbridge Choir members are thrilled to have picked up a bronze award for their magnificent efforts in the Krakow Advent and Christmas Choir Festival.
The 130 or so members in the choir and the combined talents of musical
directors Cliff van Tonder and Dale Thomas so impressed the competition
judges that they were actually only one point away from winning the
silver award.
Video Clips from our "Sing It! Swing It!" Charity Concert
We are pleased to present some video clips from our ‘Sing It! Sing It' charity concert which was held at Woking's New Victoria Theatre on Saturday 29th October 2011 where we treated an audience of over 1000 to an evening of lively, high-class musical entertainment from Elmbridge Music's two choirs and two bands.
The concert was hosted by ex-radio DJs Ed ‘Stewpot' Stewart and Paul Burnett, whose light-hearted and witty banter kept the audience thoroughly entertained between acts. The audience were also treated to a surprise appearance by Bobby davro who sang "new York, New York" with our Big Band. We hope you enjoy these clips!
