The first performance was at her memorial service. This performance, however was part of the memorial service in St Martin in the Fields, for Ruth Rudge, who was a very distinguished and lovely lady, and also my first boss. The ladies of the Occasional choir, whose beginnings were as the Madrigal choir at West Heath, which I co-founded, all those years ago, are the singers, including one of the six that took part in the very first performance. I am conducting, and Penny Walker, who now directs the choir is accompanying. Unfortunately less than half the singers are visible in the video.  less

It should be pointed out that both choirs have the same and common origin; most of the members discovered choir music when they were very young and joined a former choir, Orfeón Portuense, founded in 1980. Since late 2013 , the possibility of a fusion of the two choirs arises, motivated by the need of a common goal for both groups to improve, learn, make progress and get thrilled with our love for choral music. During 2014 until our official foundation on November 22nd, 2014 at the Basilica Menor Nuestra Sra, De Los Milagros in Puerto de Santa María; Coral Jardín Menesteo supports training on choir music, organizing and attending the first choir Music workshop in el Puerto de Santa María facilitated by Basilio Astúlez, who is a music teacher at the Local Music Conseva...    less
