MARTINBOROUGH COMMUNITY CHOIR  – CONCERT JULY 17.

June 11, 2018 June2018 No Comments

The choir has been enjoying learning a wide variety of songs so far this year, and we’ve decided to present a mid-winter concert, in St. Andrew’s, on Tuesday evening, July 17. There’ll be more info in next month’s Star.

We’ll sing songs from the 16th Century to the present day (including a waiata arranged for us in 2018), as well as songs from movies, and vintage pop songs. 

Choir members enjoyed the opportunity to sing in smaller groups as part of our December concert last year, so we’ve decided to make the ‘small groups set’ part of our regular concert programme.

This year we’ve been lucky to have had another ‘choir masterclass’ from our fantastic patron, Mark Dorrell, and we’re hoping he’ll have time to come back and see us again soon. Mark is a wonderful conductor, pianist and vocal coach, and has become a good friend of our choir.

We always welcome new members into the choir, no audition necessary. An ability to read music is an advantage, but not essential.

If you’re interested in joining us, please come along to our concert, and/or contact vicbjones@gmail.com
