Choir news 2012 - sharing the faith through singing
Posted January 22nd, 2012 by martinSt. Thomas Choir is gearing up for all the exciting changes that are happening throughout 2012. So what are our plans this year? At the moment the choir are learning a new setting to sing Choral Matins in the next few months. We are also preparing another new setting for Choral Evensong next month. With less services to sing after the changes (at the moment there is a choir presence at Eucharist, Matins and evening service) this means we will be able to explore new settings and choir pieces.
After the changes we are looking at singing about 9 Choral Evensongs a year. Martin has also been in discussion with other Churches who have very little/no choir who would like us to come and sing Choral Evensong - have choir will travel!
In November, when Martin's Chairmanship of the Winchester RSCM finishes, there will be a Choral Evensong at Winchester Cathedral where not only our choir but also many other choirs in the Diocese will be conducted by Malcolm Archer.
The Choir is made up of two sections. Juniors aged 7 - 18 who meet to practice on Friday between 6.45pm-8pm and are expected to attend at least one service a week. They are given singing tuition and are entered for RSCM music examinations. They also get paid!!!! The senior Choir meet between 7.30pm-8.30pm on Fridays. For the senior choir there is an expectation that members have at least basic sight reading.
If you are interested in joining us, why not come along and listen to one of our practices where you will have the opportunity to hear and meet the choir.
