a WARM INVITATION TO ‘TRY US OUT’!

Come and join us - for free - at a rehearsal to see what we are about. If you haven’t sung with a choir for a while and are feeling a little rusty, or you have recently moved into the area, OR you sang in a choir at school and are thinking, I’d love to do that again, why not come along? There is no commitment to join, although we would love to have you! This term we are working on the immensely popular Carmina Burana with its well-known, stirring opening passage O Fortuna. It is a secular work which celebrates the lusty enjoyment of life! The composer, Carl Orff, created something very exciting using primitive rhythms and simple repeated melodies. The choir will have had a week of grappling with this before you come, but we can assure you that doesn’t make us experts! But there will be a lot of vocal support if you feel a little nervous, especially as some of the choir will have done this work before. Reading music notation is the only requirement really, together with enthusiasm and a willingness to have a go! Scores will be provided on the night.

We are a friendly bunch! If you want to know more about us generally, navigate your way around this website and maybe read the FAQ’s. If you want to have a chat about this or simply let us know to look out for you, as you are planning to come, please go to the CONTACT US page and get in touch.

We meet in Northfleet School for Girls in Northfleet, Gravesend (more details at WHEN AND WHERE ) starting fairly promptly at 7.15pm (finishing at 9pm) so we suggest you arrive at 7pm to pick up music and find your seat.

Hope to see you there!
