Hello all, I hope everyone is well. It has been a fun and impressive term’s work. We have learned almost all of the music for the summer concert, which is a huge chunk of notes, and we are in good shape to hone and finesse the program to performance standard. Thank you for all your hard work, sitting in a…… Read more →

Dear all Over the Easter break you will hear more from me with ideas for how to keep things current while we are on our break, but for now – brilliant rehearsal this evening. Here we are, half way through the process of working towards the summer concert, and you are sounding so good. Still lots to tidy up and…… Read more →

Morning all. Last rehearsal before the Easter break tonight, 7.45pm sharp AT CHRIST CHURCH. As last week you need: the two Spanish pieces (Zorongo and Habanera), Brahms’ Geistliches Lied and the Haydn. See you later! Read more → Read more →

Morning singers, I hope you enjoyed last night as much as I did. Sometimes the only way to go at a tricky piece is to run at it full tilt and see what happens. You will be excited to know that we are now half way through our journey towards the summer concert. Things are coming together very well, and…… Read more →

Morning everyone, I am hoping to get through a wide range of repertoire this evening, including the one movement of the Haydn that we have not looked at yet. Nothing new to print today if you were at last week’s rehearsal, but please make sure you have the downloads we have previously used in addition to your copy of the…… Read more →

Dear All As you know Sheen Gate Choir is run by a committee of volunteers and all members are welcome to get involved as much or as little as they like in the running of the choir. Most people prefer to just come along and sing which is great (& the whole point of the choir!) but we periodically remind…… Read more →

Morning all, hope you are enjoying the snow. At last night’s rehearsal, we ended up the evening talking about the amended concert plan. For those who were not there, most of the plan remains exactly as was. The main event is the Haydn Creation. The significant change is the date, from Sat July 1 to Sat Jun 24. This is…… Read more →

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a good weekend. Thanks to all for their help with the sectional rehearsals last week. As you will have seen, we have decided to rejig the concert plan slightly, to make it possible for us to sing with Ad Libitum, a choir from Merida in Spain, whose leader is our own soprano, Marta.…… Read more →

Dear All Thank you for responding so quickly to our query about concert dates. Responses were overwhelmingly in favour of the earlier date. We have therefore taken the decision to move our concert to Saturday 24th June, with apologies to those who are unable to make the new date. The June date will allow us to add what I hope you…… Read more →

Morning all, nice to see many of you back in singing mood last night. We started out (after a bit of Australian rounding – try getting that earworm out of your head) with a new piece – Geistliches Lied by Brahms. A choir like us does not often get to sing Brahms. Most of his choral writing is for a…… Read more →
