Due to the rapidly escalating situation with the omicron variant, we have very sadly taken the decision to cancel next week’s Carol Concert. All ticketholders will be refunded for the tickets they have bought. Please be patient as this process will take a little time to sort. Gravesham Choral Society wishes all our supporters, friends and members a healthy and happy Christmas.
Organist Malcolm Riley
A return to our annual Christmas concert with the usual wide variety of seasonal songs, old and new. Lots of opportunities for audience singing! This year will see the first performance of a new carol entitled Little Star of Bethlehem, commissioned by one of our choir members to celebrate his 25 years of singing with Gravesham Choral Society and written by our very own Director of Music, Alan Vincent. It will be a pleasure to mark Christmas together with everyone once again.
A COLLECTION FOR TWO LOCAL CHARITIES will be made at the end of this concert: the Ellenor (hospice) and Slide Away, a charity that supports bereaved children. Money was raised at choir which will be donated to charity as this collection is no longer happening.
Please note: We have sometimes had two evening performances but only one is planned this year so don’t delay in getting your tickets. ALL audience members need a ticket for this concert (whether paid for or free) so we can manage numbers safely given the c.urrent circumstances. Tickets must be obtained in advance as none will be available on the door.
Tickets are £5 for adults and free (tickets still required) for 15’s and under, students and Friends of GCS. (Friends will now need to order tickets online as we no longer have paper tickets to send out).
Tickets are no longer available as this concert has been cancelled. Refunds will be made in due course.
From now on, tickets for all GCS concerts can only be bought online. Paper tickets will no longer be available. We have made this decision as it is easier not handling cash; to save money/paper on printed tickets; to bring us in line with the 21st century way of doing things! Ordering and paying for tickets via The Little Box Office is very straightforward.
