We have a few things to tell you about and a few questions to which we would like your answers: PLEASE SEND ALL ANSWERS TO tsgcchoir@gmail.com
1.00 First of all dates of concerts - some fixed and some provisional. They fall into 2 categories: official Chamber Choir concerts; and other singing opportunities. The former will be with a full choir (we hope) and Ed leading, the latter is likely to be a smaller group, more informal and possibly lead by someone other than Ed.
Official Chamber Choir Concerts - full choir:
Chamber Choir Christmas Concert: St Chad's Bensham - Saturday 3rd December 7pm. Confirmed date and venue
Chamber Choir and Philharmonic Voices Joint Concert: Hall 2, The Sage Gateshead - Monday 5th December. Confirmed date and venue, time to be confirmed (evening)
Chamber Choir Spring Concert - St John's, Gateshead - Saturday 24th March at 7pm - Date and time provisional - to be confirmed
PLEASE REPLY TO tsgcchoir@gmail.com to say if you are able to attend these above dates.
Summer concert - we are awaiting confirmation of venue and date but will let you know asap. We are even making plans for possible summer 2013 concerts!
Other Singing Opportunities:
Ustinov College, Durham - Thursday 10th November (provisional, awaiting confirmation from the College)
Victorian Christmas, Shotley Bridge - Saturday 26th November, time to be confirmed
PLEASE REPLY TO tsgcchoir@gmail.com to say if you are able to attend these above dates.
2.00 A question about future Chamber Choir trips abroad.
We are looking at possible locations for another Chamber Choir singing weekend abroad. In the past we have always planned these for August as this summer holiday time suited many people. However, at that time some potential fascinating locations might be too hot for some and so we are just wondering if a date earlier in the year could be a possibility. So if you are interested in joining a singing weekend in 2012 please could you reply to the following questions:
- Is August the only month you can go? (usually the weekend before the bank holiday weekend)
- Could you instead go in the Easter school holidays? (probably weekend of 14/15 April in 2012)
- Could you do either date and so have no preference?
3.00 A Concert you might be interested in:
Saturday October 8 at Trinity Church, Gosforth - 7.30pm, .Simon Fidler (leader - Philharmonic Voices) is running the 'Voices of Hope' concert, which will raise money for the British Heart Foundation. The concert will feature inspirational choral music from 4 centuries and promises to be spectacular.
Tickets are £8 and are available on the door or by calling 07739815494 to reserve. There are no concessions as all monies are being donated to the British Heart Foundation.
4.00 Our very own Rob on the Radio:
