Choral risers on tour

Wenger choral risers, exclusively supplied by Black Cat Music, certainly get around and have become an essential staging element for many choral groups.

Viva Acappella describe themselves as, “fun, friendly, sociable and passionate about singing and we work to high standards to ensure that our audiences experience the very best in harmony singing”. Not surprising they extend their attention for high standards to the choice of Wenger Tourmaster risers.

Also using Wenger Risers are Cheshire Chord Company celebrating their 20th year and Grand Central Chorus who have been performing “top quality Barbershop, since it was formed in 1991”. They enjoy performing “in all manner of venues – castles, churches, village halls, marquees, supermarkets, on the streets and the largest, East Midlands Airport departure hall.” Just as well that Wenger Tourmaster choral risers are exceptionally portable and robust - no other risers fold, roll, set up or travel so smoothly.

The Tourmaster sets up in seconds and is easy to take up stairs, around tight corners, across the parking lot, and into a bus or a van. Precision engineering and using only the best materials means Tourmaster risers will deliver reliable operation for a long, long time. It ensures that Tourmaster choral risers are definitely the best travelling risers, combining affordability with long-lasting value. Better still, the Tourmaster comes with a full five-year warranty.



Gareth Malone at work with Classic 50 music stand

Choirmaster and broadcaster Gareth Malone OBE was seen at Voices Now choral festival at work with a Wenger Classic 50 music stand.

Well known for his television appearances in programmes such as The Choir which focus on singing and introducing choral music to new participants and for his enthusiastic support of the Military Wives, he describes himself as an "animateur, presenter and populariser of choral singing".Voices Now was a weekend long event for all things choral convened at the Roundhouse in London in June.

Classic 50 Music Stands, available exclusively from Black Cat Music, are tough enough to handle the hardships of regular use thanks to a formula of advanced polymers offering inherent tensile strength that will not bend or dent like metal stands. Its elegant design makes it quiet and rattle-free during performances. And the scratch resistant desk surface also incorporates a unique recess for keeping pencils in place. The patented one-hand height adjustment of the music desk is simplicity itself, requiring no screw or locking collar adjustments.



Music storage cabinets installed with military precision at Imperial College

When the Wenger UltraStor instrument storage cabinets were delivered to the Blyth Centre for Music and Visual Arts at Imperial College, London everything just clicked into place.

Administrator for the Blyth Centre for Music and Visual Arts, Mary Bowe praised the Black Music team saying, “John and Dean did a great job, it ran like a military operation and thank you very much for all your help in getting our order to us today.”

Imperial College offers a rich selection of music options for student and staff alike, whether an orchestral violinist or a jazz drummer, an experienced singer wanting to join a choir or a guitarist wanting to start a band, or maybe someone who just wants to enjoy listening to other people making great music. With five orchestras, four choirs, a string ensemble, a wind band, two jazz big bands and a musical theatre society at Imperial, as well as many smaller ensembles, no wonder efficient instrument storage is important!

The Wenger UltraStor instrument storage cabinets enjoy the benefit of patented polyethylene shelves and are described as the best-built, most-reliable storage cabinets available. Heavy-duty hardware and top-quality doors further ensure reliable day-to-day operation and unparalleled durability. Available in a range of sizes, colours and styles, including different door types for different applications, cabinets are modular so can be re-arranged and added to as required.
