PREVIEW: SAGE GREEN SINGERS
Rosslyn Hill Unitarian Chapel

SINGING and listening to madrigals is surely one of the most pleasant and delightful pastimes.

That will be possible on Saturday evening at the Rosslyn Hill Unitarian Chapel, Hampstead, when a newly formed group called the Sage Green Singers will be singing 16th and 17th-century English madrigals at their debut concert.
Their programme will include well-loved and lesser-known madrigals by John Dowland, Thomas Morley, Thomas Weelkes and William Byrd with a 20th-century set of four madrigals by Thea Musgrave.
“Our aim as a new singing group is to find fresh ways of presenting old classics and introduce unfamiliar music among the familiar,” says soprano Daphne Harvey, who lives off York Way, King’s Cross.
After singing professionally for a few years, she now works for the British Society for Haematology in the Angel and sings whenever she can.
Future plans for the group include a Christmas concert, probably for charity, and some contemporary music in the spring.
