Dear All
What a great first rehearsal back last week! Well prepared and sounding really good. Penny was very impressed, especially after the two week break.
Check Penny’s rehearsal schedule for this week’s music (remember it’s a live document so may change from week to week. Rehearsal Schedule SGC Autumn Term
Please also bring carol scores from now (listed below) on as Penny will run through them at some point.
Vivaldi Gloria – soloists:
Don’t forget to let Penny know if you’d like to sing a solo – thank you to those who have got in touch already.
At least one soprano and one alto (although there is scope to have different soloists for each solo/duet movement).
If you would be interested, please email sheengatechoir@gmail.com to make yourself known (if you have a preference for a particular solo movement, do let us know that as well).
Should we have more volunteers than solo movements, we will have auditions on 19th November.
