CONTEMPORARY CHOIR SET TO ROCK AT STANTONBURY THEATRE

Singers from a city choir are practising their harmonising ahead of a spectacular concert on Tuesday (July 15). Milton Keynes Rock Choir will entertain with an uplifting mixture of pop, gospel, Motown and chart songs in ‘Rock Choir – The Choir That Rocks’, a one-night-only show at Stantonbury Theatre. Classic numbers from the BeeGees, Bon Jovi and Heather Small and more contemporary tunes by Bruno Mars, The Darkness and Olly Murs will have the audience boogying in their seats all evening. Members are led by Cambridge University music graduate Lottie Greenhow – one of 55 Rock Choir leaders nationwide. The concert will be her swansong as Milton Keynes Rock Choir leader  - she is leaving the post to pursue a full-time classical singing career. Lottie has been keenly rehearsing the Rock Choir repertoire with the MK group and is looking forward to seeing the singers take to the stage under her direction. This latest production will be performed with the contemporary choir’s usual energy, exuberance and - as befits the Rock Choir approach – enjoyment. The performance starts at 8pm and tickets are £12. Call Stantonbury Theatre Box Office on MK 324 466 or visit www.stantonburytheatre.co.uk to book. > The Rock Choir approach emphasises fun, friendship and community spirit and welcomes all teenagers and adults who want to sing. There is no audition and you do not need to be able to read music – just turn up to your first session (for free) and experience Rock Choir for yourself. Milton Keynes Rock Choir rehearse at the MK Christian Centre every Thursday during term time at 7.15pm, visit www.rockchoir.com for more information. Georgina Butler
