Rehearsals are running as per below…

Rehearsal Information

Rehearsals     Please note that regular attendance is vital. If you are likely to miss more than 3 rehearsals you should speak directly to Paul and be aware that you may not be able to perform in the concert.

We will commence rehearsing for our Spring concert on Thursday 12th January, 2023.
Music:
Faure’s Requiem (Novello edition edited by Desmond Ratcliffe)
Benjamin Britten’s Te Deum in C
James MacMillan’s Who Shall Separate Us
(The Britten and MacMillan are in the HHCOS library and will be lent with a refundable deposit of £5)

The concerts will be slightly different this year as we plan to perform the works in the Chapel rather than the hall so we will be doing 3 performances which have provisionally been set for Thursday 30th March and Saturday April 1st (2 performances).

We are actively trying to attract new members (especially men!), so feel free to bring a friend along.

Please contact [email protected] if you have any questions.

Note – times of rehearsals are not as below until COVID mitigation measures have been lifted.

  • Unless otherwise stated in the Rehearsal Schedule, rehearsals are held in Peatyards from 7.30pm until 9.30pm on Thursday evenings.
  • Rehearsals start promptly. Please be in your seat and ready to sing at 7.30.
  • If you arrive late please enter through the kitchen so as not to disturb the rehearsal and take a seat at the back. You may move to a more suitable seat at the interval. Please bring your music, a pencil, and a mug for tea break. Members are asked to make a donation for refreshments (minimum 50p).
  • Please be respectful of others and do not chatter during rehearsals!
  • In order to maintain the high standards of performance expected of HHCOS regular attendance at rehearsals is necessary.  If you know that you have to miss several rehearsals, please discuss this with the Musical Director. Permission to sing in a public performance is his decision.

Feedback

We actively seek feedback from choir members. This can be attributable or anonymous and can be hand written on Feedback forms available at rehearsals or  on-line using the attached form.   Constructive criticism and suggestions allow the Society to change things for the better and positive feedback, particularly mentioning any benefits you derive from singing with HHCOS, is very useful when making funding applications.
