The Deputy Mayor of Hailsham will join celebrations at a special collaborative concert featuring Hailsham Voices and Eastbourne Voices Community Pop Choirs, taking place at The Winter Garden in Eastbourne on Saturday 7th November.
Called ‘Voices in Harmony’, the event marks the second time the two choirs will perform together in concert, following last year’s sell-out event. With around 150 singers on stage, audiences can expect an uplifting programme of popular songs, showcasing some of East Sussex’s finest local talent.
Deputy Town Mayor, Councillor Colin Mitchell, said: “It is a real pleasure to be able to support Hailsham Voices and Eastbourne Voices as they come together once again for what promises to be a fantastic evening. The enthusiasm and commitment of everyone involved is truly impressive, and I am sure the combined sound of around 150 singers will make this a very special concert. I would like to wish Abbie and both choirs every success and look forward to joining them on 7th November.”
Choir leader Abbie Marsden added: “We are delighted to be bringing Hailsham Voices and Eastbourne Voices together again for another evening of music, friendship and community spirit. The response to our first joint concert was fantastic, and we’re really looking forward to sharing another memorable performance with our audiences. With around 150 singers taking part, it’s going to be an evening full of energy, fun and plenty of great songs.”
Tickets are priced from £7-£14 (plus online booking fees where applicable) and are available to purchase online. The concert will run for approximately 1 hour 45 minutes, including an interval.
