Our next concert is Saturday July 1st, and the centrepiece will be Haydn’s Creation, sung in German, accompanied by an orchestra of decent size. We intend…… Read more →

Thanks all for braving the cold to come to rehearsal last night. I hope that those who have been unwell are feeling better. We spent our time running through the entire program, just tidying up a few little things. It sounded very good in places, a little ragged in a couple of spots, but I am confident that these will…… Read more →
