Writtle Singers Tour of Prague
22 to 25 October 2005

Writtle Singers’ tour to Prague from 22nd to 25th October included Mass at St Ludmila’s church near the centre of Prague followed by a  concert shared with a local choir Vox Nymburgensis as well as a concert at the  Kulturní centrum Zahrada, Garden Culture Centre with the choir, Zus Hostivar, where the Singers were praised by the secretary of the Czech Choirs Association  for their expressive performing and fine dynamic control. Writtle Singers sang music by Mozart, de Kerle and Gallus who all have associations with Prague as well as British composers such as Byrd, Holst, Walton and Finzi. Members of Zus Hostivar enjoyed practising their English during the post-concert meal at a local restaurant, whilst Writtle Singers members faltered over their few words of Czech! A member of the Singers said “ the concert in Kulturní centrum Zahrada was one of the highlights as it was really great to meet some locals and have a proper chat”.
