    Description:

    Join BCS for an afternoon singing Alexander L'Estrange's Zimbe! We will be exploring this joyful upbeat cantata with conductor Hilary Campbell, accompanied by Steve Kings.

    Zimbe!  (an anglicised version of the swahili word Ziimbe meaning ‘Sing them!) charts a day in the life of an African village, placing singing at the heart of the community.

    Alexander L'estrange, the composer writes:-
     
    The songs I have chosen to arrange are fun, moving and infectiously tuneful - and through them we find ourselves in a wonderfully simple, joyous realm where music imitates life, and life inspires music.


    At times touching and moving, at other times funky and grooving and at all times uplifting, Zimbe! promises to be a great experience.
