The Incognito Singers performed two magnificient Autumn Concerts entitled "Songs With Style", at the Teatro Municipal in Zurgena all for the benefit of F.A.C.E. (Fundraising in Arboleas, Caring for Everyone) recently. The 27 strong group of mixed voice singers under the musical guidance of David Murphy, performed for well over an hour and twenty minutes, with a thirty minute break, a superb array of musical numbers ranging through light classical numbers, music from musicals and films such as "The Sound of Music" and "Oklahoma", and modern popular music by Nat King Cole and Whitney Houston, which delighted it's audiences.
F.A.C.E. provided a bar which served pre show and interval refreshment. There was also a Raffle at each performance.
The only benefactor of the performance was F.A.C.E. as the singers performed free of charge. The total amount raised by the two performances was € 1,154-50 including all ticket sales, bar sales and raffle ticket sales.

On moving to Spain in August 2017 I knew that I would need to have a hobby and a way of meeting people.  I love singing and always have since childhood so my partner suggested joining a choir.

I had sung in a church choir up until the age of about 16 which I enjoyed and around twenty years ago I was involved with a choir in London, but this turned out to be ‘highbrow’ and ‘cliquey’. I just wanted to sing, so I was rather put off by my last experience.

I met Kate (Contralto) from The Incognito Singers by chance. She said to me  ‘I don’t suppose you happen to sing? Our choir is always looking for new members’. She went on to say ‘feel free to come, listen and see what you think’.

So I went along for a listen…. and was impressed from the word go.

The sound is great and the musical director is very good at getting the best out of people without it being hard work. The songs are of a very mixed variety and I would say there is something for everyone. I was impressed by how many men there are, as many choirs are top-part heavy.

I decided to give it a go and join. After a very simple audition I was accepted.

Using the downloaded app has made practising at home relatively simple.  Everyone is very friendly, welcoming and ready to help with any questions.
​
I would say, if you love to sing, have a tiny bit of music knowledge, then come along and join in.
