The concert programme is finalised and the concert handout approaches completion. Plans for rehearsals are in place, and the many administrative details are in hand.
The Junior Choir of 12 girls had its second evening rehearsal for the concert on 17/11/24, and continued making good progress, particularly on 'The Shepherd's song', which was written specially for the Junior Choir in 2017, and is having its second outing. Ther choir gave a performance of all three songs to their parents at the end of the rehearsal.
Jenny provided the lovely photo of the Junior Choir (missing just one member who was ill that evening). We look forward to a third rehearsal on Sunday 24, hoping that the weather will not be too inclement.
We have an exciting, change of programme plan. Darcey F-B is now not able to take part in our concert; however, her slots will be taken up by her younger brother Freddie, aged 10, who is developing as an outstanding treble. He will be singing as the treble soloist in the travelling 'The Snowman' production in its launch on 30/11/24, and will be singing the same piece 'Walking on air' for us, with a solo piano performance, as well, of Debussy's 'Dr Gradus Ad Parnassum' - a delightful piece. His CV will soon be visible in the draft concert programme handout bios.
The concert programme is now full, but may be adjusted in timing later.
