REHEARSALS

When?

 

Rehearsals run from 7.30 pm to 9.30 pm every Tuesday during choir terms. Rehearsals for our next session will resume on Tuesday, 9th September, 2025.

 

In the upcoming autumn term, we will be working towards our Christmas concert, to be given on Saturday, 6 December 2025 (7.30 pm) in All Saints' Church, Haslingfield. The programme includes Diabelli's beautiful and tuneful Pastoral Mass, and a number of orchestral versions of well-known Schubert songs.

 

Where?

 

Rehearsals take place in All Saints' Church, Haslingfield, CB23 1JF,

 

Attendance

 

We understand that it may be difficult for choir members to attend all rehearsals, but if you know you are going to be absent, it is helpful if you can let our secretary, Kate, know.

 

Sheet music

 

You don’t need to buy your own sheet music, as we hire enough copies for each member of the choir and orchestra to borrow. However, some choir members like to buy their own score, so if that is the case, it would be worth finding out in advance which edition we are using, to make it easier during rehearsals.

 

Can I try out rehearsals?

 

You are welcome to try out a rehearsal to see if you would like to join us.  There is no audition, but if you are unsure where your voice fits within the choir Paul will be happy to hear you sing and advise accordingly.  We are happy for members to attend rehearsals even if they are not able to sing in the concert at the end of the term.

 

Help to learn the music

 

One of our choir members has developed a very helpful learning tool that can be found at www.learnchoralmusic.co.uk. We also recommend CDs and YouTube videos for familiarising yourself with the music.
