What better way to round off the Easter weekend? About Basement Orchestra Basement Orchestra makes beautiful music in unexpected places. Classical music breaks free of the concert hall and has a bit of a riot. Founded in 2012, Basement Orchestra is now a 50-piece musical behemoth. In that time, they have brought their come-as-you-are vibe and blissful noises to a variety of unusual spaces, including the iconic Rough Trade Record Stores, the even more iconic Bethnal Green Working Men's Club and several windy car parks. They have provided live scores to up-and-coming filmmakers, and have entertained tripped-out revellers in the way they least expected on the main stage of Secret Garden Party and at Mighty Hoopla. Performance schedule: Doors: 5pm Performance starts: 6pm Running times: Matinee: approximately 80mins including interval A child ticket is required for all attendees. Presented by Big Penny Social This is a 15+ event

Ever wondered if there is a 'local ladies choir near me or nearby'? Your friendly local Wanstead (Woodford) choir is run by vocal tutor Nicola Cain. The choir is for all ages and all the local London branches of Rock Choir, like ours come together to do incredible performances like the 11,000 seat Wembley Arena that ITV1 asked to film for the Rock Choir documentary 'The Choir that Rocks' and also our numerous Guinness World Record attempts (The Rock Choir members have got 3 world records and even had personal certificates arranged for them) and community events too like the local London music and food festivals. Joining a choir can be a brave step to take for some and in light of this Nicola tries to make it as easy as possible for you by giving the opportunity to have a FREE taster session and then to have a chat with her about singing. Rock Choir is the leading group in community singing. We launched our FREE choir taster sessions back in 2005 and have 19 years experience giving members of the public who are new to singing in a choir the chance to try joining a choir without the need to audition or read music. Here is a quote about our choir - 'I can only echo what people have said about Rock Choir. It's had such an impact on mine and other's lives. A fantastic outlet for singing feel-good songs, the ones we all enjoy to listen to - and the opportunity to be part of a group producing an amazing sound. I've made so many friends and had many fantastic experiences during my last 5 years with Rock Choir and look forward to many more!' - Emma (Rock Choir member) Rock Choir is a winner of the Red Ribbon 'Big Heart' Award [https://rockchoir.com/awards-achievements/]. and holds 1 former and 2 current Guinness World Records. The choir is also credited with single handedly starting the contemporary choir movement.
