Tempus Vocal Group is not a choir in the traditional sense, it is a dynamic group of vocalists and musicians who perform an eclectic variety of music with energy and flair. They enjoy introducing new works as well as giving well known works a fresh interpretation. Their music director, Seimon Morris, who formed the group eight years ago, has composed and arranged a wide variety of works for them.

Tempus has performed both locally and nationally to great acclaim. Their repetoire includes works by Handel and Mozart, as well as Karl Jenkins and John Rutter. They also embrace lively gospel and pop classics.

The group have had an interesting life so far. They have released two CDs of works with words by Peter George and music by Seimon; Antiphony of a Grief Rewarded for the Suzy Lamplugh Trust and Adam the Man for the charity A Bucketful of Hope.

Of their performance with orchestra of Mozart's Requiem, a reviewer wrote: "The freshness of performance made me feel as if I was hearing the piece for the first time. The freshness is due to the fact that the group is as comfortable singing classics as with pop and gospel music. Their exuberance and joy at making music puts a smile on each face in their audience and lifts the heart."

Seimon Morris has been teaching music in Pembrokeshire for 20 years, during which time he has composed a large body of work. His mission is to persuade people to listen a little less to such ladies as Kylie Minogue and Miss Spears and a little more to gentlemen such as Bach and Mozart. He considers it a duty and a privilege to perform great works in such a way, that those who might not normally listen to them are drawn to them by the performance.

'Music Tempus Style' will be performed on Wednesday, July 15, in the lovely St. Mary's Church, Tenby, at 8 pm. Tickets £6 at the door or from Dales Music Shop, Tenby.

The event is a charity concerts to raise much-needed funds for HOPE Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre in Neyland.

MS is a progressive disease of the nervous system causing symptoms from numbness and tingling to paralysis, blindness and lack of co-ordination. Although there is no cure, it has been found that some drugs, physiotherapy and breathing pure oxygen while in an air pressure greater than normal can give many benefits.

At the centre in Neyland, a pressure chamber, similar to that used for divers with 'the bends', is used regularly, giving improved mobility, speech, eyesight and a general feeling of wellbeing.

HOPE also offers more than therapy, it is a place where patients and their family and friends can meet for support and advice.
