Bruton Boost, Singing in St Mary's
NOW ON Mon 21 July, 5.30–6.30pm
The Bruton Boost is a brand-new initiative from Good Company Bruton, designed to help our community build better mental fitness. A few weeks ago they ran an informal singing workshop in St Mary’s which was well-attended and a lot of fun!
On Monday 21 July St Mary’s – in collaboration with professional singers Amy and Tim from The Echoing Air Ensemble – will be helping to keep the momentum going by offering another session for anyone who would like to come along.
The emphasis is on fun, and taking a valuable break from life’s pressures, so expect a relaxed hour of singing for improved mental health, during which you may find that this activity can provide stress relief, time spent with others in a friendly and calming environment, or a first foray into singing that previously you’ve felt was too scary to try!
We look forward to seeing you there, and hearing your thoughts about it afterwards.
Sophie Sherwood, Visual Artist
Sat 2 August, St Mary's, 9.30am–4pm
On 2 August we welcome artist Sophie Sherwood to St Mary’s where she will be using the stained glass there to produce cyanotype prints (also known as blueprints). Sophie graduated with an MA in Photography from UWE, Bristol in 2019 using her grandmother’s photographic archive to make new work, and has exhibited nationally, internationally, and online.
Sophie explores the self and nature through light sensitive materials and darkroom techniques. Do come along to see her as she works to create some beautiful and unusual images!
Exevox
Sat 9 August, St Mary's, 7.30pm
ExeVox presents a banquet of choral music that the singers have personally selected as their favourite pieces from the choir’s programmes over the last two decades to celebrate our 20th anniversary. From choral classics by Purcell and Lotti to Gjeilo and Whitacre via familiar masterpieces by Pearsall and Stanford, from sacred to secular, and from old to new, prepare to experience a smorgasbord of memorable, uplifting music.
