2022 has been, for us, the year of seeing 'Heaven in a Wildflower'.

"Heaven in a Wild Flower"
We gave our first live concert in more than 2 years!

We sang a goodly mix of songs - a little seventeenth century song in praise of Spring, a couple of Northern Harmony pieces, a brand new song wondering what a fossilised tree might think about and be comforted by... And much else besides.
How good it was to be out performing again. And to a full church too.
Thanks from all of us to churchwarden Anne, who organised everything with energy and good cheer.

Maumbury Rings,
Dorchester
SONGLINES: Maumbury Rings rang with the sounds of children's voices, backed up by Kathie Princes' Dorchester choirs, as well as Quangles and Live Wires from Weymouth. For the Songlines
project, composer Geof Edge, The Dorset Museum, and hundreds of children worked together to create new songs inspired by the natural history of Dorset.

Weymouth
Triple Delight!
Together with our sister choirs, Wacapella and The Live Wire Choir, Quangles gave their first concert at The Emmanuel Church. Good to have plenty of space for all three choirs to sing together, as well as individually.
What might comfort the spirit of a tree, who misses the good old days of its youth around 140 million years ago?
Where might a roving band of butterflies find their Champs Elysées?
Who might let the sky fall?
These and other questions were explored in song.
Fossilised algae, encasing the shape of a tree.
Here we are on a chilly and imaginary tour, but we arrived back in time to share Christmas merriment and thoughtfulness in Broadwey, on 18th December.
