A lot has happened since our last concert here in the summer, most momentously of all our first international event. As many of you will know, we have in our repertoire a medley from Disney’s ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’, so in the summer we (nearly 400 of us) went to Paris. We sang to a standing room only audience in Église Saint-Eustache, then the following day we performed twice on the main Castle Stage at Disneyland Paris. On the final day we got on a boat. All of us, on one boat. On the Seine. Sailing past the Cathedral of Notre Dame. Singing Hunchback! The whole weekend was quite memorable and I know it was the first of many.

We continue to take our singing out into the community to raise money for many charities including Helpline Victim Support, Macmillan Nurses, St. Gemma’s and St. Oswald’s Hospices and many church restoration funds. We really look forward to expanding our outside events as they mean a lot to us.

I am so proud of the commitment and dedication these singers give me. I think we are definitely proving that we can sing anything!

And to you of course, thank you for your support, and the support I know a lot Joy To The World of you give the singers away from rehearsals. First published in 1719, ‘Joy to the World’ continues Gary to be popular today and is the most published Christmas carol in North American history. As well as enjoying the beautiful sights of Paris, Inspiration performed four concerts in three wonderful and contrasting venues throughout the city, including the magnificent Église Saint-Eustache and the magical Castle Stage at Disneyland Paris. Our final performance was aboard a cruise boat on the Seine on which we performed our ‘Hunchback’ medley, whilst sailing past Notre Dame Cathedral!

You can find out more about our trip by visiting the Inspiration website www.inspirationuk.com, but here’s what a few people had to say:

“I sat next to a French lady outside Saint Eustache, while waiting to start our performance. She told me that earlier in the day she had come into Paris for a meeting. As she walked past the cathedral she could hear “beautiful singing” so she stepped inside to listen to our rehearsal. She described the sound as “filling the church with our beautiful voices, so far up to the roof, I thought you would lift it off”. She decided to stay in the city, to listen to our concert in the evening. It was such a pleasure to hear her speak of the choir in such glowing terms.” Inspiration hits Paris! Sheila Kimber Many months ago Gary had the idea of taking Inspiration to Paris “As the trimaran emerged from beneath a bridge, the first exuberant note of the Hallelujah Chorus rang to sing our much loved medley from Disney’s The Hunchback of out. I glanced up to see a bride and groom poised for Notre Dame. In the early hours of 27 August 2010 this idea was a photograph. The groom spun around and looked realised when nearly 400 Inspiration singers and supporters down in amazement! What a perfectly timed moment. headed to Paris for a five day tour of the city. Hollywood could not have done it better!” Barbara Roper

“It was Saturday afternoon and whilst the group came to Saint Eustache for their rehearsal, I was setting up my camera equipment. They started to sing ‘Non Nobis Domine’ and I had to stop what I was doing as I got goose bumps and shivers down my spine. As I stopped to listen to the beautiful sound that was coming from the choir, I found myself welling up. That was only the rehearsal – I couldn’t wait for the full concert!” Fran Bridges, Rayburn Tours

Inspiration would like to thank everyone who helped make this trip such a success. To Sue, Janice, Judith, Chris, Andy, Mark, Rich, Matt and Rayburn Tours. We all just have one question. Where next? I have always wondered if you can tell the difference between the two An interview with… Inspiration choirs – although we are all ‘Northerners’, we do speak differently but do we sound different? If you’ve been to one of our concerts before you will obviously This is a fascinating question. The difference between the two choirs is most obvious recognise Inspiration’s Founder and Musical Director, Gary Griffiths. at the beginning of each term, before the work on vowels really kicks in. During Gary founded Inspiration in 2008 with the simple ethos that warmups we do try to get a uniform sound for all our vowels, but if you haven’t sung everyone can sing. He has sung in and conducted choirs all his life for a few weeks, then the regional accents can come through. The two choirs each and truly believes that singing in a large group is life-affirming and have their own personality too, but I couldn’t possibly declare a favourite. fulfilling in a way that few other activities can be. Here Gary answers a few questions about Inspiration’s two choirs and life off the If you weren’t involved in music, which other career path do you think you conductor’s podium. might have taken? I would have loved to have been an actor. I did a lot of serious drama at school, Singing obviously gives many people from all walks of life a lot of pleasure. and deferred university for a year to play the title role in Brecht’s ‘Life of Galileo’, What is it about the singing experience that encourages your choir to keep which I adored doing.

Singing is by far the most personal of and orchestras and loved every second. I do miss playing in an orchestra, but it is all the music-making skills. It is only you and your body making that sound, and such a joy to be allowed in front of players of the calibre of Northern Sinfonia and when you do that in a group of 300 or more people, it can be quite overwhelming. The Orchestra of North.

I have sung in choirs all my life, and there is no better feeling than when it all You can keep up to date with Gary feels right. I also like to think that my approach to rehearsals helps. We have so and all the Inspiration singers by much fun that sometimes we don’t realise how hard we are working, and I try visiting the Inspiration website very hard to make singers feel safe. One knock back or cruel word (spoken at www.inspirationuk.com. without cruel intentions) can be devastating for a singer, and once confidence is lost it can be hard to get back. The development of each concert is very rewarding as well; from first rehearsal through to concert is a thrilling journey.

Gary, you have been described as a talented cook and a rollercoaster fan, so I have two questions. What would you describe as your signature dish? Which rollercoaster has been the most thrilling so far and which one is on your wish list for the future? Angels We Have Heard On High Well I like to think I can turn my hand to anything, but I suppose one of my The words of this song are favourites is a proper steak and kidney pie, with a suet crust.
