Singing Salon is directed by respected mezzo soprano Pippa Dames-Longworth, who formed the group thirteen years ago with fifteen voices. The singers are soloists from the South and South West of England. The group is experienced and versatile, including various staged performances for The Royal Pavilion in Brighton over many years. Some popular works include an abridged ‘Magic Flute’, a baroque romp, ‘Titania’, an evening in ‘Café Momus’ (‘La Boheme’) and their fun Victorian show, ‘A Christmas Parlour’.
Horsham Symphony Orchestra is a dynamic amateur orchestra founded in 1971 and is based in Horsham, West Sussex. It draws in talented musicians from the surrounding area, connecting music-makers with music-loving public. In 1997 the orchestra became a registered charity, and continues to run thanks to a strong network of players, concert ticket sales and the support and donations of friends of the orchestra.
