Risingholme Singers - New Singers Wanted
Hi Folks,
We are a 4-part non-auditioned friendly community choir of approximately 25 members.
We are now looking for new members, especially Tenors, but all of whom are always made very welcome. Although it is not essential to be able to read music, if you can sing in tune, you would still be most welcome to join us, as you would soon learn the music via our very helpful conductor.
We perform two or three concerts a year, and our music mostly consists of popular pieces from movies, shows, hit records, etc., all of which we really enjoy singing. We also take part each year in the annual Choral Festival held at St Mary’s Pro-Cathedral, with various other choirs taking part as well. Always a popular event.
We rehearse every Monday evening, with a short break in between, from 7.30-9.30, at the Risingholme Theatre, which can be reached via the driveway at 99 Hawford Road, Opawa (green advertising board on fence) or, via the opening into Risingholme Park at the end of Reeves Road.
We begin our first rehearsal for this year on the Monday evening of 15th February, and if you would like to come along to our rehearsal please feel free to do so. The members are all looking forward to getting back, and I’m sure, to be in the company of the other members, for a good chat before the rehearsal starts!
For any questions you may have about the choir, please contact our President, Jill Willmott, on 388 3235 or, at risingholmesingers@gmail.com
