The Red Wing Madrigal Singers were formed in 1961, becoming the Red Wing Singers in 1996. Original membership was 16 voices, having now increased to 32 voices.
What inspired you to do a 1960’s theme?
For a 2010 Concert theme, the Board met, reviewed what we had done in the past – 1920’s Speakeasy, 1940’s Radio Show, 1950’s show; we discussed all the great music of the ‘60’s, and decided it was time to do a ‘60’s show.
Where’s the most interesting place you have performed?
Among the interesting places we have performed are the St Nicholas Church in Prague; the Chapel of Christ the Servant in Coventry, England; with the local church choir at the Rugby Club in Laugharne, Wales; and the Performance Hall in Neuschwanstein (Cinderella’s Castle in Germany). When in Munich, a concert promoter came up to us after a thunderstorm had destroyed his band’s amplifiers, and convinced us to sing a few songs in the town square.
How do you become a member of the Red Wing Singers?
Membership in the group is by audition; the Director keeps a list of those interested, and contacts them for an audition when a position becomes available.
What is the funniest thing that’s ever happened at a performance?
As far as the funniest thing that has happened at a performance, I think the funniest moments are written into the script; I go back to some of the jokes and stories told during the show, and re-live the audience reaction and the joy we share with them.
