Visit to Bordeaux

2:41 AM, Posted by Test, No Comment

Westbury Singers have a tradition of visiting cities with which Bristol is twinned. In 2001 the members made their first foray abroad to sing in Hannover and this was followed by a visit to Oporto in 2004.The photo above shows members practising during their earlier visit to Oporto in 2004.

This tradition will be continued by a visit to Bordeaux in September of this year. Most of the arrangements are already in place,thanks to excellent liaison with Mme. Arlette Izac,the President of the Bordeaux - Bristol Association.

Leaving on Thursday 25th September, the choir will give two concerts duing their visit. The first will be on Friday to secondary school students as part of their English language studies and on the Saturday,a joint concert with local choir Syrinx will take place in a Bordeaux church.

It is hoped that Syrinx will be able to pay a return visit to Bristol in May 2009.
