Vocal Projects
You Called, We Came
As part of Newham Music’s You Called, We Came project in June 2024, the Junior Repz Choir learnt songs from our Windrush 75 repertoire. Songs included London is the Place for Me, Dis Long Time Gal, and You Called, We Came, which explored the culture and experiences of the Windrush Generation.
The five weeks of rehearsals culminated into a performance at Newham Council’s Windrush Day event at East Ham Town Hall!
The Stopping Place
Our Senior Repz Choir (now Musical Theatre Singing Club) joined Brolly Productions‘ core group of performers for their production of The Stopping Place in Summer 2024!
The Stopping Place is a powerful opera work drawing on music of the Roma tradition, staging the history of the Roma holocaust with two central characters of Roma heritage and a chorus, choir and orchestra drawn from secondary schools in Newham, East London.
Brolly Productions created and produced The Stopping Place in collaboration with composer Tate Hingorani-Short and in partnership with Newham Music and the University of East London.
