Amelia has been an excellent singer since 2018 and this will be her final appearance in the Abbey. She has been a wonderful character, full of fun, and a lovely mentor for the younger girls. Amongst her many solos a highlight sticks in our memory of her powerful rendition of Dido in Purcell’s famous Dido Lament from Dido and Aeneas in our A Night at the Opera concert earlier this year.

We are very proud of our wonderful Girls Choir, the hard work and the commitment these young ladies have demonstrated over the years is impressive. I’m delighted to present to you two solo concerts by Maddie and Emma who are both first class singers and musicians. We are proud of their achievements. Come and hear these informal lunchtime recitals where they will perform a wide variety of music. Both girls are in year 13 (upper sixth) at school having just taken their A-levels thus this is their final year in the choir. These will be wonderful occasions as we say farewell and admire these talented individuals.

These Summer Solo concerts are free but there will be a retiring collection for choir tour funds
