Message from the Chairman
The
Royal Leamington Spa Bach Choir has around 80 members from all walks of
life, all of whom enjoy singing. We are a friendly group of people who
have gained a reputation for being one of Warwickshire's best amateur
choirs. We rehearse weekly on a Wednesday evening during term time where
we work with our Musical Director and Conductor, Nigel Stark, and
accompanist, Colin Druce. On the day of a concert (normally a Saturday)
we have a dress rehearsal in the afternoon, followed by the concert in
the evening.
In the
2010/11
concert season we are delighted to bring another exciting mix of musical
offerings to our audiences. These include some popular classics
and some works that may not be so familiar: (Further information can be
found on our Concert page)
In 2010:
In 2011:
-
Choral workshop with Bob Chilcott - featuring
his recent masterpiece, Requiem
-
Bach - Mass in B Minor
-
Bernstein - Chichester Psalms
-
Fauré - Requiem
In addition to our
rehearsals and concerts we undertake a range of other activities,
including working with other choirs and performing outside of the local
area. We aim to provide a 'Come and Sing' event during the year to give
prospective singers an opportunity to experience the challenge of
singing with a big chorus and possibly joining the choir on a permanent
basis. We were invited by the Mayor of Leamington Spa to support his
2008 Charity Appeal in a Concert with Sir John Tomlinson. We have sung
Christmas music at Hatton Country World & Burton Dassett, and have also
performed on Coventry and Warwickshire Radio.
We also provide a range of social
and fundraising events
each year, such as a summer garden party, book/cd and cake
sales, skittles and a promises auction.
Every member is
encouraged to be involved with the choir, which provides a great way of
singing and experiencing music and making new friends.
