Spalding Parish Church, 18th March 2006

  Eric Wayman hosted our 20th Anniversay Concert which featured some of the choir’s favourites from the past twenty years, both sacred and secular.  
   

Excerpt from a press publicity article:

“Ever-popular Spalding choir Cantemus celebrates its 20th anniversary with a special concert of requests. And there’s an astounding repertoire to make it a memorable night of music. Over the years, the choir has sung everything under the sun apart from rap. There were the wonderful folk songs sent floating around Salzburg’s ancient square, the Tudor mass sung for a congregation of 2,000 in Notre Dame, Russian church music introduced to the village churches of South Lincolnshire, themes from James Bond and Guys and Dolls in a cabaret, and even a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. Under its founder conductor, Eric Wayman, there aren’t many styles of music that haven’t been given voice by this versatile choir - and it is partly the wide variety of music that brings audiences back time after time and binds choir members themselves so closely together.”
