Piano is their forte PAULA HULBURT
Some talented singers have been raising not just their voices but some eyebrows too as they took a piano on a town centre adventure. The community piano was on the
move as part of a pop-up performance by Blenheim Choral at Te Kahu o Waipuna, Marlborough Library on Sunday. Wheeling the piano across Blenheim from the Wesley Centre to the library, members gave people a reason to smile as they spotted
the unusual sight. The piano was soon set up in the library’s foyer where singers made the most of the acoustics, treating members of the public to a special pop-up performance. The Blenheim performance will feature more than 50 local sing-
ers, three soloists, two pianists and five percussionists. The library stairs offered delighted audience members the perfect place to sit and enjoy several songs. As voices lifted together in song, visitors were brought
to a standstill, listening to the performance. The themes in Carmina Burana of fate, fortune, love, lust and drinking still resonate in the 21st Century, says musical director Robert Tucker.
