Have you ever sat in the audience and wished that you could be up on stage singing?  Or are you already a singer and looking for a new opportunity?  If so this event is definitely for you! 

This is your chance to spend the day rehearsing under the guidance of professional conductor Cathal Garvey, accompanied by professional musicians and soloists.  In the evening you will experience the thrill of performing in front of an audience at St Nicolas Church, Newbury.

If you're happier to take your seat in the audience, you can look forward to hearing a large choir performing your favourite numbers from the great choral works, including choruses from Handel's Messiah and his triumphant Zadok the Priest, Vivaldi's Gloria, music by Haydn, Mozart, Brahms and other great names.

To participate in this unique day of music-making all you need to do is complete a registration form, available here, by Monday 4th March.  Alternatively you can email the Society's secretary by clicking here,  or pick up a form from a choir member.  The unbeatable price of £20 includes a bound booklet of all the music we will be singing, plus the priceless memory of a hugely enjoyable day.  Don't be put off if you feel a little rusty or unsure of your ability:  there is no audition and we warmly welcome everyone with enthusiasm for singing.   

The schedule for the day will be:

10am Registration and coffee at St Nicolas Church, Newbury

10.30am – 12.30pm Rehearsal for non Newbury Choral Society members

2pm – 5pm Rehearsal for all singers

7.30pm Concert

Please bring a pencil and a bottle of water to the rehearsals.  In the evening the choir members will be in concert dress, which is black DJ, trousers and bow tie and white shirt for men, and long-sleeved black blouse and long black skirt or trousers for women.  It would be great if you could join us in this but it is not compulsory.

Whether you come and sing or come and listen we look forward to welcoming you to an exciting shared musical experience.
