July: Raised Voices choir caused commuters to stop and listen at Highbury and Islington tube station recently when they sang to raise money for Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP).

30th June – 2nd July: The Street Choirs Festival took place in Kendal with many Campaign Choirs taking part and a timely acknowledgement in David Burbage’s welcome of the roots of the festival being in choirs’ ‘singing to change the world‘. In these dark times, we need such singing now!
£2,250 was raised for the charities being supported during the festival.
The videos below (from Manchester Community Choir) shows the Massed Sing featuring the beautiful ‘Harbour’ by Anna Tabbush and the rousing ‘Sing John Ball’ by Sydney Carter.
4th March: Seeds of Hope: A Feminist Requiem for Community Voices and Soloists: This is the premiere of Penny Stone’s Feminist Requiem ‘in honour of my awesome mum, Sue Stone, as well as the many thousands of women whose shoulders we all stand upon’ which took place in Derby Cathedral.
‘The Seeds of Hope Requiem is written in 18 languages, celebrating women’s voices from around the world, and is performed by a community chorus, semichorus and soloists. The piece gives us all space to reflect individually as well as connect with the communities around us. It is both sorrowful and joyful and lasts about an hour and twenty minutes’.

7th March: Cynthia Cockburn Memorial in London organised by Raised Voices.
Rosemary Snelgar writes : ‘Raised Voices held our memorial to Cynthia on 7th March 2020, at which we performed some of Cynthia’s songs, and taught others of her songs and rounds to everyone there so that we could all sing them together. We were delighted that many of our past members, other singers, and Cynthia’s family and friends were able to join us. Everyone there enjoyed the memorial, and as a participant said “it was moving and fun and just lovely!”. Photos and videos of the event can be seen here.
We asked people to contribute to the costs of running the event, with any surplus being donated to one of the charities that Cynthia supported. From Raised Voices past and present members, other singers who attended, and from two other choirs, the costs were more than covered and we’re very pleased to say that we’ve sent £348.00 to Women for Refugee Women’.
Cynthia Cockburn’s One Song, One Dance is well-known to many choirs being simple, tuneful and with sentiments that are so appropriate and moving in the context of the current health crisis which knows no borders. The performance below is by Raised Voices and others at Cynthia’s Memorial.
5th and 6th March 2020: book launches for A Nuclear Refrain by Kye Askins, Phil Johnstone and Kelvin Mason took place in Hove and London.
