The Gisborne Singers committee is sorry to share the sad news that their esteemed Musical Director, Stephen Brockman, had a serious fall from a bicycle last week and passed away on May 28th, 2020. The choir is struggling to process the loss of such an incredibly strong, intelligent and passionate man. He leaves behind him a legacy of wonderful music making, not only with our little community choir, but worldwide. We were to be presenting the Brahms Requiem (pre-covid), and he had been enjoying preparing this work with us. It was one of his favourites.The picture shows Stephen (with wife Margaret) receiving a gift (whisky glasses) and flowers for his 10 years as conductor with our choir in 2018. As yet, we’re unsure how we’ll proceed as a choir, as they’re very BIG shoes to fill. We’ll keep you all informed. Looking forward to happier times, when we can once again share our love of music together. |
