Inspiration Choir Southampton and Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra present Songs Of Power Sunday 28 July 2019, 3pm Music Director: Pete Harrison WELCOME Welcome to our Summer concert; Songs of Power. Although it has only been four years since we held our first rehearsal in Southampton, I have been incredibly proud of everything we have achieved in that time. We have really grown into a family who rely on each other and help each other out, both musically and in day to day life. Many of our singers had never performed to this level, not to mention singing from memory with a world class For more information: British orchestra. I know you will hear the hard work that www.peteharrison.biz every single one of them has put into today’s concert @PeteBHarrison and see the smiles on their faces as we tackle our usual broad range of music. If you are interested in joining us then our next ‘Open Evening’ rehearsal is on Wednesday 18th September 2019. Our Choir is open to everyone to come and join our happy family so if you fancy coming along to have a look and see what we’re all about, then please do come and join us at Richard Taunton College in Southampton, starting at 7.15pm. No pressure or commitment, but a fun evening guaranteed! Pete Harrison, Inspiration Southampton Music Director About Pete… Pete studied at the Royal College of Music before starting his conducting career in the West End. He is a regular guest conductor and presenter with Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. Recent concerts include Last Night of the Christmas Proms concerts (since 2010), Classic FM Live at the Royal Albert Hall, their regular series of film music concerts and Proms in the Park. He conducts regularly for Raymond Gubbay Ltd in major concert venues including Symphony Hall Birmingham, Philharmonic Hall Liverpool, The Opera House Dubai, The Grand Theatre Marina Bay Sands in Singapore, Bridgewater Hall Manchester and Royal Festival Hall London. He also regularly conducts the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, the Philharmonia, Tthe Ulster Orchestra and the Russian State Symphony Orchestra. Studio work includes the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, the BBC and regular UK session work. Pete also teaches at Wells Cathedral School. A VERY SPECIAL PLACE IN OUR HEARTS The songs in this concert have a very special place in the hearts of Inspiration. We are recreating the very first Inspiration concert from 10 years ago, up north in Leeds and Newcastle. In the four years since Inspiration Southampton joined our singing family, they have performed many of these iconic numbers, and under the marvelous conducting of Pete, have developed into the wonderful group of performers you are about to hear. We have a very loyal audience, thank you, and I hope you will hear and feel the development that has happened in those four years. Not only have they grown in number but also in the quality of performance. Now it’s time to sit back and enjoy the show. Gary Griffiths, Inspiration Music Director and Founder About Gary… I have been singing for as long as I can remember. Wolverhampton Grammar School was my major musical influence – School Choir, Choral Society, Musical Theatre Group, Jazz Band – alongside the Youth Orchestra and the Concert Band. When it came to University it had to be music, and so to York. Three wonderful years of music making also included being Chorus Master for York Light Opera and MD for Pickering Musical Society. I then became a tenor in the Choir of York Minster with all that entails; daily services as well as many world tours, concerts and recordings. After 18 years , I left and became part of the creative team behind the formation of SingLive. Now, with Inspiration as my sole focus, I really do have my dream job. Weekly rehearsals and trips around the country and abroad are a joy.

Her fame in Britain came not just from her stage appearances but from her recordings. A prolific artist, Hammond's repertoire encompassed Verdi, Handel, Tchaikovsky, Massenet, Beethoven, as well as folk song, art song, and lieder. She returned to Australia for concert tours in 1946, 1949 and 1953, and starred in the second Elizabethan Theatre Trust opera season in 1957. She undertook world concert tours between 1946 and 1961. She became patron and a life member of the Victorian Opera Company (since 1976, the Victorian State Opera – VSO), and was the VSO's artistic director from 1971 until 1976 and remained on the board until 1985. Working with the then General Manager, Peter Burch, she invited the young conductor Richard Divall to become the company's Musical Director in 1972. She joined the Victorian Council of the Arts, was a member of the Australia Council for the Arts opera advisory panel, and was an Honorary Life Member of Opera Australia. She was important to the success of both the VSO and Opera Australia. Hammond embarked on a second career as a voice teacher after her performance career ended.
