Dear all As mentioned in the last Roundup, we are looking to add another piece to the repertoire for a concert in June. There is a Doodle Poll at this link – https://doodle.com/poll/kkg8c95cxn5btakn?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link – for you to vote for your favourite! We are looking for something not too long but substantial, with a bit of a challenge but not too…… Read more →

Rehearsal Roundup – 8th February 2022
Dear all Apologies for taking a week to get the latest roundup to you, but it gives me the chance to remind you that there is no rehearsal tomorrow, Tuesday 15th February as it is half term! Last week, we spent a fair amount of time on the Festival Te Deum, mainly focusing on the next section we had not…… Read more →
Rehearsal Roundup – 1st February 2022
Dear all Apologies my roundups have been a bit inconsistent so far this term, and that this one is coming around so late! Firstly, as some were asking, our break for half term will be on Tuesday 15th February.. That’s next Tuesday. At last week’s rehearsal we started with some detailed work on the 12th (and last) movement of the…… Read more →
Rehearsal Roundup – 11th, 18th and 25th Jan 2022
Dear all Many thanks to those who have attended the first 3 rehearsals and apologies for not sending out a note after each one. We’ve made a great start to the year with some music that is really fun to sing! Rather than go over what we looked at in each rehearsal I thought I’d just give a quick overview…… Read more →

Rehearsal Roundup – 23rd November 2021
Dear all Many thanks to those present at tonight’s rehearsal. Unfortunately I feel I must plea again for everyone to come to rehearsals if at all possible. We now only have 2 left before we perform in front of an audience and we are far from ready – if the number of people absent from rehearsals remains as it has…… Read more →
Rehearsal Roundup – 16th November 2021
Dear all Many thanks to those present for a fantastic rehearsal tonight! We achieved a huge amount, including note-bashing through the final 2 pieces for the concert. My now-usual please for everyone to prioritise attending the remaining rehearsals – we don’t have any more time for note-bashing as we really need to start tidying the pieces for performance now, so…… Read more →
Rehearsal Roundup – 9th November 2021
Dear all Many thanks to those who were there for tonight’s rehearsal. We were very well stocked for sopranos and quite well so for tenors, but distinctly lacking in bases and altos, which made the balance of the choir tonight interesting to say the least! As last week, can I please urge you all to come to as many of…… Read more →
Rehearsal Roundup – 2nd November 2021
Dear all Many thanks to those who braved the chilly autumn night to come to rehearsal this evening. We achieved a heck of a lot, but by my count we now only have 5 rehearsal left before the planned concert – it is really important that everyone comes to all rehearsals from now on. If we only have ¾ of…… Read more →
