Come and join our Musical Theatre Choir! A fun, low pressured choir focusing on songs from musicals, and older pop songs. We rehearse on Thursday evenings, 8-9.30pm at Jackson’s Lane, opposite Highgate tube station.
Throughout the year, we will cover repertoire from Rodgers and Hammerstein musicals, to Les Mis, to Sondheim, to West Side Story, to Wicked, and everything in between. Older pop songs will include songs by the Carpenters, the Beatles, and many more. This term, we will also be looking at some Christmas songs.
Any standard welcome, and no need to read music as the songs will be taught line by line. The choir is run by Rachel Dussek, a singer, singing teacher, and choir leader who trained in classical singing and then in musical theatre at Mountview Academy of Theatre Arts. Please get in touch by email or phone to book a taster session.

Musicians from the “Icons of Greek music” project come together once again to perform a concert of music by three of Greece’s most loved and iconic composers: Mikis Theodorakis, Manos Hadjidakis and Stavros Xarhakos.
There is not a household in Greece that does not have their beautiful melodies colouring their lives. The folk songs have become classics, almost like anthems. They can be heard being played by a small duo in the smallest taverna to the biggest orchestra in the greatest concert halls around the world and they touch everybody in their own personal way…they are songs and lyrics which wherever we are in life we can relate to.
Join us for an afternoon of lyrical melodies, pulsating rhythms and poetic lyrics that reach into the soul of Greece.
Performers:
Maria Tsirodimitri – voice, guitar
Pavlos Carvalho – cello, bouzouki, vocals
Manolis Taouxis – double bass, bouzouki, vocals
George Tsolakis – voice, guitar
