A season of song performed this spring at Royal Derby Hospital.
Following a very festive winter musical season at the Royal Derby Hospital, the hospitals arts team air is launching the spring music season `Nightingale`. The season will feature an array of vocal performances including folk singer and musician Lester Simpson and the Derby all male acapella choir.
The Nightingale season of music has been made possible through donations from patients, visitors and staff. Who support the aim of these music performances in providing uplifting musical moment of distraction as a part of the hospital experience.
”The therapeutic effect of live music in an healthcare environment has been well documented and is proven to us each time someone passes by with a smile or chooses to contribute their spare change in to our donations bucket during a performance.”
Juliet Cooper air Arts Coordinator
The spring music season will be running from the 21st February 2012 – 17th April 2012. Kicking off with the classical guitarist Alex-Lloyd-Williams performing in locations throughout the hospital as a `wandering mistral` .
Gordon Savage, the conductor of the Derby all male acapella choir say’s
“We are looking forward to being part of the air arts spring season and performing at the hospital. We very much enjoy singing and performing and if we are able to brighten a person’s day then that is a fantastic accomplishment.”
