A moment from the festival in 2022
The month begins right in the middle of intense rehearsals for The Stop Gaps choral group. Although they will take the stage at National Centre of the Performing Arts (NCPA) later in August for an annual concert, ticket sales, costumes and set preparation are in full swing. This year’s show titled Collector’s Items is a one-night-only production of gems that the choir has collected over the years, says founder and conductor Alfred J D’Souza. It will feature a treasure-box mix of gospel and Broadway numbers, a fitting theme of effulgence and entertainment as part of the ongoing 50th anniversary celebrations of the choir’s founding. Show night will also be D’Souza’s 71st birthday, which has been drawing excitement from the group.
“Since our repertoire ranges from religious songs to pop and jazz, we have picked pieces covering 100 years of gospel and Broadway music to set up a combination of music that is classical but also catchy,” D’Souza tells us. The list includes songs from the musicals Hello Dolly!, Rent, My Fair Lady and Mary Poppins.
