Dear All
We concentrated on 12 Days of Christmas this week. Keep eyes on Neavan! Timing is tricky for this piece, look up particularly for the 5 Days sections and final 12 Days.
We will be looking at Brahms An Die Heimat next week – after which we’ll have run through all the music for the concert. If you can find time practice tracks (super helpful!) may be found on the Repertoire page link here.
Spread the word for our concert Sun 6pm 14/12 at Christchurch. Flyer will be available soon.
Note, for one week only- 18th Nov, rehearsal will be at St Mary the Virgin Church in Mortlake as Christchurch will be shut for electrical work. Directions will be in next week’s post.
Music Order for Summer Concert (4th July 2026):
