Some news from the Frinton Literary Festival;
We are holding a fundraising event on Saturday 13th February, 7.15 pm at the Columbine Centre. This will take the form of a concert by Quire, together with a talk and reading by Anthony Painter, best-selling author of "Barack Obama: Movement for Change"* *
Quire is a Colchester based community Choir with around 70 male and female members, who sing a wide range of world music in many languages in four part harmony Tenor, Bass, Alto and Soprano. They will be performing an exciting programme of music to reflect Obama’s diverse background – son of a black African father and a white American mother brought up in Hawaii, who spent his childhood in Indonesia. It promises to be a very dynamic performance.
* * Barack Obama: The Movement for Change by Anthony Painter tells the story of a visionary leader who refuses to be limited by America’s history and determines instead to change it. His plan for change is the latest expression of a movement for justice: a movement that has swept forward with the collective energy of great leaders like Martin Luther King, Robert F Kennedy, Lyndon B Johnson, Harold Washington, Chicago s first black Mayor, and countless others who have bent the arc of morality towards justice.
The dates for the Frinton Literary Festival this year are Friday 24th-Saturday 26th September. Look out for more news as soon as the programme becomes available.
