Happy New year to all of our members, fans and followers.
2018 was quite a year:
We had a very full house at our first rehearsal of the year
yesterday and wasn’t it good to get back together and sing after a two week
break.
Before the rehearsal our committee met and 2019 is already
filling up. Here are some firm dates:
3 March the MACC The Manchester Amateur Choral Competition.
Read more about it here. The general public can purchase tickets and if you enjoy listening
to choirs this is a real treat. A whole day of it for a very reasonable
price. And we’d love to see your
friendly face in the audience.
29-31 March Rome Yes, some of us are off to Rome. One of our members has contact with a
choir there and so we’re delighted to be working with the Coro della Colina. Extra rehearsals
for some of us now!
15 June Chorlton
Choirs festival We’ll again be taking part in this festival. It is a
relaxed, quite informal occasion and was really good fun last year. It is open
to a public audience. Details to follow.
6 July We’re off to the Llangollen Eisteddfod for
the whole day. We’re not competing but we’re performing. This is a
public-facing event. If you happen to be there that day, look out for us.
13 July Swinton Grove Family Fun Day. We’ll be there right at the
beginning, helping to open the event. We’ve attended this event many times before
and it’s lovely. Good food including
excellent ice cream on offer. If you
come along, you may be able to combine it with a visit to the Gaskell House.
20 July Buxton Fringe
Festival Again we offer two
concerts: 11.00 a.m. at the United Reformed Church and 3.00 p.m. at St Mary’s.
Tickets are already on sale. More details here. This is one of our A Cappella and cake events
so you’ll also be able to enjoy some delicious snacks. The Buxton Fringe anyway
is full of delightful entertainment.
Take a look at their brochure. Items are being added constantly.
Some of our events are still under discussion and awaiting
confirmation. These include charity
concerts, community events, workshops and no doubt plenty of Christmas activity
in December and late November. Watch
this space.
