News for Members Message from Ewan Stockwell I just wanted to drop you a short
“well done” message and thank you for being superb in the performance of The
Creation. Whilst I'm afraid I couldn't be there,
I am glad to hear such wonderful feedback and I hope that you enjoyed being
part of the performance. Please see the following email from Tom Newall: Thanks so much for a
fantastic day yesterday, and making me feel so
welcome! It’s been such a pleasure
working with the choirs, fantastic soloists and
orchestra and all came together and worked so hard yesterday for a fantastic
result. Please forward my
thanks and best wishes to everyone. Many thanks also to Ewan
and Jamie for their work preparing the choruses, and everyone at Oakham
School who work behind the scenes to make these events happen! Just a gentle reminder
about next term’s concert on Saturday 2 March 2024. The concert will
focus on selected works by Stanford and Fauré on the centenary of their
deaths. A full programme can be viewed on the Next Concert page. The editions you will need are as follows: Fauré Requiem Novello
Edition Fauré Cantique De Jean
Racine (we will supply copies for you) Stanford Songs of the Fleet Stanford,
Charles V: Songs of the Fleet. Vocal Score - Stainer & Bell Stanford The Blue Bird (we will supply copies for you) I am hoping that the majority of you
will already have the Requiem and I might be able to hand out a few
spares. As a gentle reminder, please can we order locally whenever possible?
We have some excellent music and book shops in the are
that will happily order on behalf of you. Any issues, please do let me know. We will not meet again until the New Year as I am now busy with
the run up to our school musical production. Please be aware that rehearsals
will resume on Tuesday 9 January. Any further questions, please do email me, and do keep promoting
the Choral Society to new members. We can always do with more singers! All the best,
