Getting away for a weekend of singing and connection
10th July 2024
Vox Anima Chamber Choir finished the season with a fabulous concert at St Dunstan's Church, Cranbrook, celebrating the power of women's voices. The choir then retreated to the tranquil setting of Fraser's in Egerton for a weekend of music, connection, and creative exploration. The best music is created through a strong sense of community and the choir regularly take time outside of their normal rehearsal schedule to develop this side of the group.
The weekend began with a celebratory post-concert dinner, where choir members shared laughter and stories. Some light-hearted activities offered a fun way for members to learn more about one another.
Saturday morning started for some choir members opting for an invigorating countryside run, while others enjoyed a more leisurely start to the day. The group came together to reminisce about the many memorable moments they’ve shared since the choir's inception, reflecting on the deep friendships and invaluable lessons that have shaped their journey and developed the choir so far.
The afternoon was dedicated to what the choir does best—singing! The group delved into Kim André Arnesen's Stabat Mater which they will be performing in the upcoming months, as well as rehearsing pieces for Alto 1 Becca’s wedding.
The day concluded with a team BBQ. It was a time for laughter, music, and togetherness, embodying the spirit of the retreat!
Sunday provided the choir with a chance to look to the future, engaging in sessions about the direction of the group and exciting ideas for future projects. The retreat ended with the choir energised and united, ready to bring their ambitious ideas to life—something they look forward to sharing with their supporters in the months to come.
