Hello singers, I hope you all had a good weekend. For this Tuesday’s rehearsal, my plan is to look at some of the pieces we did not cover last week. So in addition to what you brought last week, please make sure that you have printed off the music for O Holy Night (Cantique de Noel). Unfortunately, the order with…… Read more →

Welcome back! It was wonderful to be together singing again. Lovely to see everyone, and to see some new faces. We are very happy to have you join us. As a choir, you all made a really good sound, right out of the gate. Well done for the note learning you have done in sections and on your own. Tonight…… Read more →

Hello all For those who have ordered but not received music, I am afraid that it looks like it will not, after all, be here for tonight’s rehearsal.

Dear All I hope you are enjoying your summer break.  I am so excited that the committee have offered me this opportunity to take the choir forward in the short term, to cover the gap after Dave’s departure. The ethos and spirit of the choir is something that I have personally enjoyed for many years. It is special and I want…… Read more →
