KUALA LUMPUR (May 26): Battersea Power Station in London has opened the doors to its first-ever residents. Homeowners were handed the keys to their new homes in the Grade II listed building, following the completion of Switch House West, the first major element of the Power Station to complete.
Paris Community Choir is still silent, despite falling case numbers and increasing vaccination rates, and the choirâs director and members are unsure when the group will be active again.
In early 2020, when the Covid-19 virus was beginning to spread across the world, the members of PCC were already in rehearsals for the spring concert.
âWe were in the middle of preparing an outstanding spring concert in March of 2020 when everything came to a halt in April,â said Alaina Logee Downing, the choirâs director. âIt would have pushed our musicians to their absolute limits, and I believe the community would have walked away from the concert inspired and awestruck. The fellowship and musical enrichment found in our weekly rehearsals is sorely missed.â
Help and encouragement for widows
