The Occasional Singers

Soloists

The Occasional Singers have performed concerts with many excellent soloists. We have been very fortunate to be able to draw upon the hugely experienced soprano Christine Page. Brian Parsons is our preferred tenor soloist.

The OS have also engaged local musicians to perform concertos as part of a concert. Pianists Fiona Dalzell and Duncan Honeybourne have both given distinguished performances, as has Kate Hawes on the violin.

Many choir members are very capable soloists, some more willing than others! Other vocal soloists, often young and at the start of their career include Pippa Goss, Abbi Temple, Emma Fidler, Edward McMillan, Phil Willcox, , Rhona McGregor, Julia Simpson, Louise Wayman, Elspeth Cumber and several others.

Equally important are the soloists from within the choir itself. Many are the looks of blind terror as Richard or Rick seek out a soloist from the ranks! But nobody has ever embarrassed themselves and we feel ourselves to be fortunate in having such strength in depth.
