Hi everyone, hope you have all had a good week. For a bit of fun for our final rehearsal this evening, I’ve selected a few Christmas songs that we can mess about with.  Please print out the rehearsal pack on the downloads page and bring along!  Chris

Hi everyone!  Carol sheet-music packs are now available for download from the website.  Please download and print a full copy for this coming Tuesday’s rehearsal.  See you tomorrow!  Chris

Hi everyone!  Great rehearsal on Tuesday: this concert is shaping up into something pretty exciting, so thanks for all your hard work.  This is just a quick note to say that I have set up a new email address, which is cjstokes1984@gmail.com.  Messages sent to pianomann1984@hotmail.com are no longer being monitored.  Thanks!  Chris

Hi everyone,  all music and rehearsal files for the December 3rd Christmas concert have now been uploaded to the downloads page of the website.  Please download and print all files ready for rehearsals next week.  Thanks!  Chris

Hi everyone, rehearsal files for the Finzi (I Praise the Tender Flower) are now available on the downloads section of the website.  Download and run the files on any media player software and you should be away!  Please try to do have a look at this by next week’s rehearsal as we will be cracking on with it along with some other more familiar repertoire for the concert on 3rd December.  More details soon about this later today.

Hope that you are all having a good half term.

Many thanks and best wishes,

Chris

Hi all,

Subs are due now and will be £60 for the term as usual since we now have Nelly on board. Please pay to the choir account or bring a cheque on Tuesday – but online banking is definitely preferred.

Choir account details to remind you: Nat West Sort code:60-01-39; account 47107324 ;  Sheen Gate Choir.

Also you will all be pleased to hear that Ravi Chelliah Gosden was born last Wednesday weighing in at 6.5lb and all doing well. Trish and I have photographic evidence to share on Tuesday if you would like to see him!

I’ve got a bit of time now for updating addresses on the website so if you receive this but still can’t hack into the site or don’t want to be on the list any more (sniff) please let me know to lesley.morley1@gmail.com.

Hello All,

Reminder that our rehearsal on Saturday starts at 3.30pm promptly.  Keep listening to the recordings!

After the concert we are going to enjoy Tuesday evenings singing a short repertoire of songs by George Shearing with a view to performing them at our end of year party.  Camilla has very kindly offered to host this on the evening of Saturday 18th June at 6 Bramcote Road SW15 6UG.  The idea is that members can bring their other halves and we can have a fun evening together with some drinks and a bit of food.  That last aspect is in the planning stage but please let me and Camilla know ASAP by email (see below) if you can make it so we have an idea of numbers.

Meanwhile after Saturday you can listen to George Shearing Songs and Sonnets: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nl5gfa4cjdA&feature=youtu.be

Hi everyone,

It’s ticket time again (!) so could you please email me at patricia@joshifamily.co.uk to let me know how many you’d like.  For those of you who are new please note we buy a ticket for ourselves as well.  This is our contribution to the large expense of having the instrumentalists support us.

Please invite and bring along as many family and friends as you can.  The record still stands at 14 for Clare and Jerry, with Teresa a close second!  It’s too easy to just bring yourself.   Pull out all the stops this time so that we can try for a full church!  We get a huge buzz on the day which brings out the very best in all of us.  It’s good to share this feeling!

I’ll have my list and some tickets ready to start selling tonight. £8 each

See you later,

Tricia

Well done everyone!

The Saint-Saens is really coming together. We have some work to do on it still, ends of phrases, dynamics, looking up, to name a few. Next week is a Schubert week.

If you haven’t yet, please take some posters from Tricia Joshi to display and hand out. Our audiences are very much by word of mouth and we need bottoms on seats for this one!

Hopefully you will have received an email with your username and password for the website this morning.

Regards,

Sam
