Rolling Harmony is a new vocal group of choir leaders and singers from the South West brought together by Jane Harris, Director of Songways. We were delighted to perform for the first time at the Shaftesbury Fringe to a wonderful audience in the lovely setting of St Peter’s Church.
The programme included songs with vibrant rhythms, compelling lyrics and interweaving vocal lines, rooted in English and American harmony singing traditions; several new songs written by Jane, including the first live performance of Alleluia Amen; an evocative English folk song with a haunting violin and bass accompaniment; an exquisite Croatian love song; Ed Bersey (bass) with Helen Porter (piano); and vocal and instrumental trios by members of Rolling Harmony.
Join our mailing list to hear about future Rolling Harmony performances and workshops.
