STERTS Theatre in Liskeard is hosting a summer afternoon of songs on Sunday, August 24.

Sterts Singers return to the Barn Theatre stage in collaboration with Canoryon Lowen and Kate Rogers Youth Choir.

Sterts Singers are an integral part of our Community Makers programme. With 40 members from the local area, the group have been performing for many years at local events such as Callington Mayfest, and have formed many partnerships with choirs across Devon and Cornwall.

Songs for a Summer Afternoon is a new ​addition to their programme, alongside their ​annual ​Last Night of the Proms and Carol Concerts at Sterts.

Canoryon Lowen are based in St Neot, south east Cornwall, with its 30 plus members drawn from Cornwall and Devon. Its reputation is based on the variety of its repertoire, which ranges from Byrd to Brubeck, Faure to Freddie Mercury.

A distinct feature of the choir’s history has included original large scale works and numerous arrangements by the choir’s founding musical director, Cornish Bard Nick Hart. The choir perform a programme of concerts, usually about one per month.

The much travelled group has sung in Lorient International Festival, Venice, Florence, Prague and cathedrals including Cork, Cobh, Coventry, Wells and Truro. Their musical associate, Kate Rogers, who plays piano, drums and sings with them, directs her own youth choir.
