Michaele Gross is Sponsorship Manager for the Bath-based Lucis Choir which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year and she says, ‘I am trying to obtain some sponsorship for the choir wherever I can!
We performed by special invitation 10 years ago in the Carnegie Hall, New York and have just been invited back to give another concert there next January which shows how special we are!
Lucis is led and conducted by the charismatic Francis Faux and currently numbers about 90 mixed voices both old and young.and we often help other charities.
For instance, we gave a ‘Singathon’ in Parade Gardens 2 years ago in aid of Ukraine and I believe we raised about £500 for the cause then. When we sang the Carmina Burana at the Wilts Music Centre last year we received a standing ovation.
One of your colleagues David Garmston helped introduce us when we sang in Bristol some years ago with Terry Waite also attending.
Lucis is not afraid to offer its audiences a slightly different repertoire from other choral societies and we enjoy collaborating with a range of artists, with a particular focus on young talent.’
Youy can see the choir in action on Friday, May 17th at St Michael’s Without as part of Bath Festival’s Party in the City. They are back at the church in October and at Bath Abbey in December.
