City Chorus, the friendly after-work choir from London, makes its Edinburgh Fringe debut with RIVERSONG:

Rivers have always inspired artists, poets and composers: enjoy City Chorus performing beautiful music on a riparian theme, ranging from classical works to showtunes, jazz standards to folksongs, spirituals to new compositions. Guest professional soloists join this London-based choir to sing favourites like Moon River, The Water of Tyne, The Volga Boat Song, and Cry me a River. The programme reaches back to Palestrina (Super flumina Babylonis) and Handel (De torrente in via) and forward to brand-new arrangements by conductor Paul Ayres. Accompanist Philip Shannon puts the icing on the cake with the dazzling solo Jeux d'eau by Maurice Ravel.
