Span Arts, Narberth is seeking people to come together and sing as one for an intergenerational singing project with a difference.

‘Raise Your Voice Pembrokeshire’ aims to bring together people aged 0 - 99 for a record-breaking attempt and charity fundraiser. The event will close the Narberth A Cappella Voice Festival 2020 in feelgood style.

Molara, community singing leader, said: “The wellbeing benefits of singing are well documented; so, the concept of bringing people together to sing and raise money for charity is an exciting one. As well as improving their own wellbeing, the singers are also contributing to improved wellbeing for others in their local community.’’

The project which is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund will promote inclusivity by reaching out to and working with a diverse range of people in care homes, local schools and community groups as well as community choirs and individuals across the region.

The event will be preceded by a series of Côr Pawb/Everybody’s Choir community singing days where all are welcome to come along and learn a range of life affirming songs from around the globe.

Nia Lewis of Span Arts said: ‘The relaxed atmosphere of the singing days makes everyone feel comfortable. Whether you’re an experienced singer or just like singing in the shower, your voice is welcome. What’s more, you don’t have to be able to read music, just be enthusiastic and willing to have a go.”

The first chance to get involved comes on November 24, 10.30 am - 3.30 pm, at the Queen’s Hall, Narberth, when the singing will be in four-part harmony, the conversation friendly and you can also bring along some lunch to share.

The Narberth A Cappella Voice Festival 2020, meanwhile, is back after a break, with a fantastic line-up including Semi-Toned, Ye Vagabonds and Durga Ramakrishnan, as well as a raft of exciting new workshops which include choral activism, Georgian and Corsican and a Singing Feast.
