A
gig
on Saturday 8th October. The event starts at 16:00.
Pitchblend is delighted to host highly acclaimed a cappella vocal quartet, Oaken, in the beautiful St Anne's church, Greenbank on their first visit to Bristol. Oaken will give a concert in the evening, following an afternoon workshop.
Come for the workshop or concert, or better yet, come for both!
Oaken is a vocal quartet with roots in folk music, branching out into pop and original songs. Anna Tabbush, Dominic Stichbury, Emily Barden and Camilo Menjura are four choral directors and composers who came together in 2020 to deliver online singing workshops during the pandemic. Since then they have developed an exciting repertoire of contemporary and traditional songs plus some of their own compositions. Their innate musicality and friendship bring warmth and joy to their audiences.
Before the evening concert, Oaken will be delivering a singing workshop which they will team teach, each member leading a part. Music will be taught by ear in luscious 4-part harmony. No previous musical or singing experience necessary. The concert and workshop are open to all, and can be booked together or separately.
Workshop 16.00 - 18.00 (Tea, coffee and biscuits will be provided free of charge)
Concert 19.30 - 21.30 (Including interval with refreshments)
Workshop or concert £15, combined £25. Concessions £10/18 (unwaged, student, youth 15-18 years).
No charge for children under 8 years of age to attend the concert accompanied by a responsible adult, however availability of seats for younger children cannot be guaranteed.
NOTE: Tickets also available on the door, cash only. Interval refreshments will also be cash only. It would be very helpful if you have change available for these.
