During the 2012 festival, the Festival Choir will rehearse Mozart's Requiem for a performance in Stoke by Nayland church on Saturday 6th October, with a professional orchestra and soloists Keri Fuge, Caryl Hughes, John McMunn and Callum Thorpe.
The choir is now full but please fill in the form below and we will contact you if anyone drops out, or if you are able to volunteer to help with the running of the concert.
REHEARSALS
Old House Barn, Oldhouse Road, Great Horkesley, Essex CO6 4EQ
We are very lucky to have Leslie Olive, himself a top class conductor and choral trainer, as our rehearsal pianist.
Thursday 27th September 1900-2130
Saturday 29th September 1000-1230
Friday 5th October 1900-2130
We are very lucky to have Leslie Olive, himself a top class conductor and choral trainer, as our rehearsal pianist.
On Saturday 6th October the choir will rehearse 3-5pm with orchestra and soloists. The concert starts at 6pm with Britten’s Serenade for Tenor, Horn and Strings, with the Mozart Requiem in the second half, followed by a reception to which the whole choir is invited.
The cost for taking part is £12.50.
We will perform the Levin version. Vocal scores are published by Carus and will be available via Mann's music in Colchester 01206 572783.
This is our first orchestral concert and a major event for the festival to organise. We are depending on a fantastic team of volunteers to make it run smoothly. If you could help, or a friend, partner or relative would like to be involved but does not want to sing, we would be very grateful. We need someone to organise staging for the choir, set up the orchestra chairs and stands, provide tea & coffee etc during the rehearsals, and most importantly help with the party afterwards! We’ll also need many hands to make light work of publicising the concert by putting up a few posters.
